The aim of the programme is to meet the needs of civil engineers engaged in the field of Geotechnics and Engineering Management and enhance their expertise in this area.
MSc at UEL
The programme is made up from core Geotechnics and Engineering Management modules covering ground investigation, soil-structure interaction, and project organisation alongside optional modules which include highway and transportation engineering and design for seismic effects.
This programme has been developed from the MSc Programme in Civil Engineering, to enable study of the particular issues and details associated with Geotechnics and Engineering Management. Postgraduate programmes in the field of Civil Engineering and Surveying have been successfully run at UEL since 1964.
Contents
The programme can be taken either in a part-time mode, by engineers employed in the UK, or in a full-time mode by either national or overseas engineers. The MSc is offered for full-time students with the possibility of being completed in one calendar year’s duration.
