• Speciality in Water Science and Engineering.
• Speciality in Soil and Geomining Natural Resources Engineering.
• Speciality in Research.

The main objective is to satisfy the increasing need, in our region, of graduates specialized in particular aspects of soil science and engineering, which are closely related one another: hydric resources global management, rational and environmental management of the plentiful natural geomining resources in the area, and the rational development of infrastructure linked to soil and the management of the above-mentioned resources. This is approached from a conservationist and environment-recovering perspective.

For this purpose, the program is intended to provide highly technical and scientific postgraduate qualification, as a branch of specialization in the professional and research field of some current degrees offered by EUIT Civil (University College of Civil Engineering). Both professional and research qualifications, supplementary and compatible, are aimed at:

• Helping to fulfil the regional need of highly qualified engineers capable of performing well in all the aspects related to hydric cycle (research, exploration, building design, exploitation, regulation, planning, global use, water environmental role, quantity and quality guarantees, etc); providing specialized training in some particular parts of water engineering which form the so-called Integral Cycle of Water (potabilization, sewage, distribution systems, purification and runoff).
• Training professionals and researchers highly conscious and specialized not only in technical and economic matters, but also in environmental ones in soil engineering, infrastructure and the integral management of geomining and hydric natural resources. The relevance of such activities for the economic development of Murcia is particularly important, but also the fact that those works are carried out thoughtfully, willing to serve society and preserve natural resources.
• Helping to link EUIT Civil and University's teaching and research activities to current real business and professional activities in the applicable domains of the program's contents.

The main goals consist in endowing students with an adequate and balanced development of their academic competence so that, when accomplishing their qualification, students could:

• Relate all the acquired knowledge (basic, technological and instrumental knowledge) thanks to a remarkably coherent training proposal.
• Develop a whole project on the subjects of the program by properly combining all types of acquired knowledge, reaching the necessary information sources and integrating into work groups as large as it might be needed.
• Know and interpret legislation applicable to the speciality.
• Organise, interpret, assimilate and produce all the information needed to carry out their tasks.
• Know the sources and tools to keep updating.
• Conceive engineering within a framework of sustainable development and be able to apply this concept to their career, both in working and social contexts.
• Know the business environment of the speciality done.

Further objectives:

• To create synergy among graduate degrees and postgraduate modalities of the centre. To establish links among the qualification in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles according to European Higher Education Area.
• To establish permanent debate forums with the organizations collaborating in the program in order to detect possible lacks in the degree and design adequately postgraduate qualification.
• To encourage continuing education by making updated teaching material available to students on the web pages of the school and participating departments.

• Cycle of water Engineering.
• Soil Engineering.
• Hydric resources.
• Geomining resources.

The master covers the modalities of professional qualification and research. Professional qualification offers two specialities: Water Science and Engineering (WSE) and Soil and Geomining Natural Resources Engineering (SGNRE). Research qualification offers the speciality in research.
In order to provide supplementary and integrating qualification, the program has been designed introducing common contents, specific contents and an optional part which manage to get in-depth training in one of the three specialities, and supplementary training in the rest. There exists a module common to both profiles, professional and research ones, and three specific modules, one per each speciality. In all cases it is necessary to carry out a final project (15 ECTS). The projects in research modality lead directly to PhD program which can be also reached by selecting particular optional subjects in the professional itinerary.

The total of 90 ECTS credits is distributed as shown in the following table. Depending on the previous qualification of students, they may be required to do some supplementary subjects or acknowledge some contents of the student's curriculum.
