The Master of Engineering Science in Geotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology is a 2-year full-time postgraduate degree at Australia’s leading engineering faculty. The degree was developed to provide a deeper understanding of geotechnical theory to solve practical problems in areas including?soil mechanics,?rock mechanics,?slope stability,?foundation design, earthworks?and dam engineering.

 

This degree is designed for students who already have a four-year accredited engineering degree and want to broaden their job prospects through cross-training, re-training or specialisation. This postgraduate degree will allow you to meet or maintain professional accreditation standards and provide opportunities for continuing professional development.

 

You’ll work on a complex, open-ended enquiry-based project to develop your systematic approach to a problem. It will require project planning and the ability to analyse, interpret and communicate results proficiently. The completion of the research provides a pathway towards postgraduate research degrees through the development and demonstration of enquiry-based skills.

 

If you want to expand your career options in?Geotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology or move your existing engineering career in a new direction, the Master of Engineering Science will provide you with advanced skills and knowledge that you can apply to your?professional?engineering?career.
