Master in Civil Engineering (Geotechnical and Engineering Geology), Newcastle University

By pursuing research in the Civil Engineering (Geotechnical and Engineering Geology) programme from Newcastle University you will join an extremely successful research group focussing on geotechnical engineering and geology. Our mission is to foster, promote and conduct research of international quality. This means that we attract high quality graduates and researchers and train them to international standards.;Within the School of Engineering we have a research group focussed on geotechnics and structures, which deals with the fundamental concepts of material behaviour, construction and design technology. Our research has a central theme of Earth systems science engineering and management, focussing on the concepts of:;I want to find another Master Course;sustainability in construction;climate change and the effects on civil engineering;We provide MPhil and PhD supervision within the broad disciplines of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology. Our current research areas are:;seismic engineering and extreme loadings;slope stability;multi-phase flow and coupled multi-field analysis;soil modelling;waste minimisation and reuse;ground improvement;site characterisation;We also encourage multidisciplinary research, such as:;ground improvement and remediation;in situ testing;geotechnical design;geotechnical processes in construction and the natural environment.;As a result of our research we have been able to revolutionise electrokinetic geosynthetics, self-boring pressuremeters, geothermal testing and construct a full-scale embankment for field experimentation.;Quality and Ranking;We rank in the top 150 for Civil and Structural Engineering - QS World University Rankings by Subject 2019;Delivery;Off-campus study may be available in some circumstances, particularly if you have industrial sponsorship. Our programme includes intensive subject-specific supervision and training in research methodologies and core skills. You will also have an opportunity to undertake paid laboratory demonstrations and tutoring to gain teaching experience.;You will be taught by eminent academics who are experts in the field, such as:;Dr Colin Davie, Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering;Professor Peter Gosling, Professor of Computational Structural Mechanics;Professor Stephanie Glendinning, Professor of Civil Engineering;Get more details;Visit official programme website
