Geotechnical and Geological Engineering MSc

Examine core engineering science and recent research findings on this one-year, MSc course, designed to deepen your understanding of geotechnics.<br/><br/>Youll explore key concepts and principles of soil mechanics before specialising in aspects of engineering geology.<br/><br/>A major focus of this programme is to help you find solutions to engineering problems connected with the study of geological factors, such as soil, rock, groundwater and other natural conditions.<br/><br/>Youll enhance your technical and research skills working in modern, purpose-built laboratories, and carry out an extensive research project.<br/><br/>This degree will also enable you to forge strong links with industry and enhance your fieldwork skills on a series of trips to areas of geological and geotechnical interest in the UK and abroad.<br/><br/>This course is part of the geotechnics cluster of courses at Imperial. These streams share approximately 80% of the curriculum, while the remaining 20% allows specialisation in the areas of advanced Soil Mechanics, Engineering Seismology, Environmental Geotechnics and Engineering Geology.<br/><br/><br/>- Geotechnical Engineering<br/><br/><br/>- Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering<br/><br/><br/>- Geotechnical and Geological Engineering (this stream)<br/><br/><br/>- Geotechnical and Earthquake Engineering<br/><br/><br/>- Geotechnical Engineering with Data Science and Mathematical Optimisation<br/>
