The second year allows specialization with practical core modules and a field trip to Spain. The third year culminates in a supervised dissertation, enabling original research, often with business collaboration for real-world experience. Additional options include fieldwork in Croatia or Switzerland, focusing on topics like geological hazards or urban infrastructure, while emphasizing employability through skills in data analysis and communication.
