Summary
Overview Apply your geological knowledge to engineering and construction projects both onshore and offshore with our MSc Engineering Geology degree.
You'll learn the advanced skills needed to understand the impact of geological conditions on engineering structures such as tunnels, dams, mines, quarries, offshore platforms and wind farms. You'll plan and conduct detailed investigations into surface and subsurface geology to identify adverse ground conditions, and design suitable remedial measures for these types of structures.
Geological expertise is critical in all types of civil engineering projects – and when you graduate, you'll be able to meet the industry requirements for specialist engineering geologists. The course will lead to a career in the environmental, engineering geological and geotechnical sectors, and is an important step on the path to becoming a Chartered Geologist.
Earth systems and environmental sciences at the University of Portsmouth is ranked 4th of all post-1992 universities for research quality as part of the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021.
The School of Environment, Geography and Geosciences offers a limited number of scholarships for international postgraduate students.
This course is accredited by the Geological Society of London.
Eligibility This course accepts UK, EU, and international students.
