Master of Science in Geotechnical Engineering
Program Overview
There is an international shortage of geotechnical engineers yet the ground is the greatest area of technical risk in construction.
Our Geotechnical Engineering Masters degree covers the practical application of geotechnical engineering to reduce construction risk and optimise the design of geotechnical structures to ensure that they are safe, sustainable and resilient.
Understanding this risk is the underlying philosophy of our Geotechnical Engineering Masters degree. It brings together expertise to ensure that you’ll have the understanding and skills to address a range of geotechnical problems including shallow and deep foundations, soil structure interaction, ground as a source of energy, environmental geotechnics, and slope and ground stabilisation.
Geotechnical engineers integrate the skills of investigation, characterisation, analysis and design to deal with uncertainty and risk within a business context. These skills are developed in six core modules: Geotechnical Investigation and Characterisation; Groundwater Pollution and Contaminated Land; Geotechnical Engineering; Foundation Engineering; Energy Geotechnics; and Constitutive Models and Numerical Analysis.
You will also undertake a research project and an integrated design project related to transport infrastructure, which give you the opportunity to address complex problems encountered in practice.
Course highlights
- Our courses are shaped by our world-leading research in areas such as energy geotechnics, numerical analysis of coupled flow and adapting geotechnical structures to climate change.
- You’ll be taught by internationally renowned academics working at the forefront of their fields, who are passionate about the subjects they teach with strong industrial links.
- Project work enables you to develop skills as a researcher, asking and answering important questions about the way our world works.
- Being able to work in multi-disciplinary teams is essential skill for geotechnical engineers. You will be working with other students on the programme and with students from other programmes on a number of laboratory and multi-disciplinary design exercises
- Throughout your studies you’ll benefit from a structured support system, with a personal tutor who will offer help and advice about your approach to studying and how to become adept at independent learning.
