Course summary
Advance your knowledge of core geotechnics on this one-year, MSc course, which also specialises in key aspects of engineering seismology. This balanced programme will provide you with a solid technical basis in geotechnics, and explore the impact of seismic hazards on geotechnical infrastructure. You'll enhance your technical and research skills working in modern, purpose-built laboratories, and carry out an extensive research project. This degree will also enable you to forge strong links with industry and enhance your fieldwork expertise on a series of trips to areas of geological and geotechnical interest in the UK and abroad. 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.
