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

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
