The scope of this blog is to give you some information about the 2nd level Specialiazing Master in "Tunnelling and Tunnel Boring Machines" at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. This is one of the ITACET Foundation endorsed Master Courses and of the highest academic level since lectures are held by the main experts of each subject in the world.
The need of experts involved in D&B and in TBM tunnelling as well as tunnel work site management is rapidly increasing throughout the world. The necessary qualifications to cover these roles cannot be supplied by the first and second level University Courses, but a specially drawn up course is required.
In the T&TBM´s program, that has now reached its 10th edition, University lectures are merged with lectures and presentations by experts from construction companies, machines producers, design companies and professionals to provide the multidisciplinary knowledge that is necessary to work in this sector.
This course is going to start at January 18th 2016 and is composed by a first theoretical lessons period of 6 months until July 2016 followed by an internship at one of the endorsing companies with a duration of 250 hours.
