Masters Degrees in Geotechnology

Kingston University offered the first GIS undergraduate degree in the world in 1989, followed by several MSc and PhD research degrees. Read more

This Masters degree focuses on scientific, technical and computational aspects of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Geographical Information Science (GIScience), with particular reference to the socioeconomic and environmental sciences. Read more

Geotechnics provides insight into geological engineering design work and highlights complications that can arise from engineering production. Read more

If you have an interest in the earth in relation to minerals extraction Geophysics offers you plenty of scope to get involved in the profession itself and expertise required to explore different types of terrain. Read more

Mineral exploration geoscience is concerned with the location of ore and industrial minerals found within the earth. The work of exploration geologists is essential to energy and production industries as it acts as a starting point for extraction. Read more

Geotechnical engineering examines the engineering behaviour of earth materials and is relevant to all engineering and construction practices that are concerned with the ground on both a surface level and within it. Read more

There is an international shortage of geotechnical engineers yet the ground is the greatest area of technical risk in construction. Read more

Global change has profound effects on soils that are observed throughout the world. This emphasizes the need to train more people worldwide who understand how soils react to global change and are able to develop preventive actions and remediation strategies to increase soil resilience. Read more

Our MSc Advanced Applied Field Geoscience is the most fieldwork intensive MSc in the UK. Read more

Mining is necessary for the production of goods, for economic growth and employability, but in many cases it comes with an environmental cost. Read more

The demand for minerals process engineering is continuously growing. In order for us to obtain minerals that are pivotal to society’s progression, without causing damage to our environment, we must manage mineral development and production in a responsible manner. Read more

Applied Geology looks at how geological issues affect the lives of human beings. Applied Geologists deal with problems that have a major impact on human populations. Read more

Geology, the science of the Earth, is concerned with understanding geological principles and processes. Read more

The Master of Science (MSc) is a two-year degree which encompasses both coursework and research. The first year involves mainly coursework and preliminary research preparation. Read more

If you are a geology graduate, this course will provide you with the essential knowledge, techniques and experience required by the exploration geology sector for employment in the metal, coal or hydrocarbon industries. Read more
