Focus on advanced aspects of soil behaviour, related constitutive frameworks and their application to geotechnical problems on this one-year (full time) or two-year (part-time), MSc course.
This course will provide you with a solid technical basis in the key areas of geotechnics through a balanced degree programme which integrates core engineering science and recent research findings with practical applications.
Explore this unique opportunity to specialise in areas critical to geotechnical, energy and decarbonisation sectors by utilising data science and optimisation to examine the design and operation of sustainable and robust geotechnical structures.
Distinctive features of this option are to provide a concise and comprehensive introduction to key scientific methods for data analysis and mathematical optimisation from both a theoretical and applied viewpoint. You will gain the skills to apply emerging machine learning and optimisation methods to solve complex geotechnical engineering applications and aid decision-making in stakeholder environments.
You'll gain first-hand experience of experimental soil mechanics working in modern, purpose-built laboratories, through a mixture of theoretical and practical learning.
This degree will also enable you to forge strong links with industry and enhance your fieldwork skills on a series of trips to areas of geological and geotechnical interest in the UK and southern Europe.
Further develop your understanding on road and rail transport in industrialised countries. You'll also consider contexts in less industrialised countries where transport problems persist. This course will equip you for further PhD research in this specialist area.
This course is part of the geotechnics cluster of courses at Imperial College London. These streams share approximately 80% of the curriculum, while the remaining 20% allows specialisation in the areas of advanced:
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering
- Geotechnical and Geological Engineering
- Geotechnical and Earthquake Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering with Data Science (this stream)
- Geotechnical Engineering and Offshore Renewables
