Apply online at: http://pgr.strath.ac.uk
The MRes course Geo-Environmental Engineering is unique in Scotland and the UK for being taught by a group of professionally qualified civil engineers, chemists, microbiologists, and economists employed full-time in the one university department. Likewise a unique set of laboratory facilities provides hands on experience of chemical, biological and geotechnical tests that are essential for understanding the multi-disciplinary topics that constitute Geo-Environmental Engineering. The course is comprised of six taught modules with a major research project based on the MRes format. The taught modules are expected to take place on Fridays or Mondays. The wide range of taught modules including the following:
- Recycling Urban Land
- Advanced Site Investigation & Risk Assessment
- Waste Management & Landfill Engineering
- Research Methodology & Techniques
- Environmental Biotechnology
- Water & Waste Water Treatment
- Environmental Impact & Assessment
- Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
- Air Pollution Impact Assessment
- Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation
This course will appeal to new graduates in engineering, earth sciences, bioscience, chemistry and chemical engineering who wish to enhance their undergraduate study with a greatly sort after vocational qualification. This course would also benefit professionals and companies who wish to develop their skills and carry out quality research.
