MSc Civil and Geoenvironmental Engineering

The Civil and Geoenvironmental Engineering MSc at Cardiff University is a full-time course that prepares students for professional roles in civil and geoenvironmental engineering. It covers both technical and management aspects of this discipline, providing students with the knowledge and skills they require to design, construct, and manage major infrastructure projects.Course Content: The course balances theory and practical implementation, touching on topics such as geotechnical engineering and geology, as well as engineering responses to large geotechnical problems like landslides, climate change, and major environmental engineering projects. Students will also develop project management skills for globally significant infrastructure projects.Key Modules: This MSc programme consists of modules like Geotechnical Engineering, Engineering Behaviour of Soils and Rocks, Environmental Geotechnics, Advanced Soil Mechanics, Contaminated Land and Remediation Technology, Computational Geotechnics and Structural Analysis and Modelling, among others. Accreditations: This course is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM), which consists of the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, and the Institute of Highway Engineers on behalf of the UK Engineering Council.Future Careers: Upon successful completion of the course, graduates may embark on a professional career working for consultants, contractors, regulators, infrastructure owners, or other related organisations involved in the design and construction of major infrastructure projects worldwide. Typical roles include working as a geotechnical engineer, engineering geologist, or geoenvironmental specialist.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
