Masters by Research (MRes) in Geo-Environmental Engineering
About a Masters by Research Degree (MRes):
An MRes combines 33% (60 credits) of taught classes and 67% project (worth 120 credits). On successful completion of the MRes research project it is possible for good quality researchers to transfer to the PhD Programme (i.e. the MRes would be equivalent to the first year of the PhD).
MRes in Geo-Environmental Engineering:
Geo-environmental engineering is a wide-ranging subject which combines geotechnics, microbiology, chemistry and hydrogeology among other things. Our MRes course is unique in Scotland and the UK for being taught by a group of professionally qualified civil engineers, chemists and microbiologists all employed full-time in the one university department. Our unique set of laboratory facilities provides hands-on experience which is essential for understanding the multi-disciplinary topics which constitute geo-environmental engineering.
Duration of Course:
12 months full-time or 36 months part-time.
