    About

    Civil and Geoenvironmental Engineering (MSc)

    Full time

    Why study this course

    This course is designed to provide specialist postgraduate professional development in this emerging and inclusive discipline, which recognises that many environmental challenges cannot be solved by one traditional discipline alone. The programme encompasses areas traditionally within civil engineering, earth sciences and biology.

    Engaging culture

    There is an open and engaging culture between our students and our research-active staff, who are actively involved in the design and delivery of this course.

    Cross-disciplinary learning

    The course involves an innovative partnership between the Schools of Engineering, Earth and Environmental Sciences and Biosciences.

    Industry links and projects

    This course includes industrial input through invited lecturers, and you will have the opportunity to complete a research-led project.

    Practical teaching

    Professional practice issues are integrated with the scientific and engineering foundation of the degree programme through a series of short, workshop-style training courses covering practical aspects.

    Professionally accredited course

    This course is accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, and the Institute of Highway Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited undergraduate first degree to comply with full CEng registration requirements.

    This MSc offers you the knowledge and expertise that you need to help you forge a career as a consulting geoenvironmental engineer within a multi-disciplinary professional team. The course is designed to provide specialist postgraduate professional development in this emerging discipline, encompassing areas traditionally within civil engineering, earth sciences and biology.

    Geoenvironmental engineering is an inclusive discipline which recognises that many environmental challenges cannot be solved by one traditional discipline alone. The solutions to environmental challenges relating to human interaction with soil, groundwater and surface water require engineers to possess a broad range of knowledge and expertise. Cardiff University's MSc in Civil and Geoenvironmental Engineering prepares you to meet these challenges.

    Civil engineering, earth sciences and the life sciences are all part of the discipline of geoenvironmental engineering. As a geoenvironmental engineer you could be involved in a wide range of activities, including contaminated land management, hydrogeology, water resource management, geochemical analysis, groundwater and surface water contamination fate and transport prediction, environmental impact assessment, environmental risk assessment, and habitat management. Geoenvironmental engineers frequently work in multidisciplinary project teams and developments.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    In order to be considered for an offer for this programme you will need to meet all of the entry requirements. Your application will not be progressed if the information and evidence listed is not provided.

    With your online application you will need to provide:

    1. A copy of your degree certificate and transcripts which show you have achieved a 2:2 honours degree in a relevant subject such as architectural, civil, geotechnical or structural engineering, or an equivalent international degree. If your degree certificate or result is pending, please upload any interim transcripts or provisional certificates.
    2. A copy of your IELTS certificate with an overall score of 6.5 with 5.5 in all subskills, or evidence of an accepted equivalent. Please include the date of your expected test if this qualification is pending. If you have alternative acceptable evidence, such as an undergraduate degree studied in the UK, please supply this in place of an IELTS.

    If you have a degree in biosciences, earth sciences or environmental sciences, you may still apply but should provide additional evidence to support your application such as a CV and references.

    Application Deadline

    We allocate places on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend you apply as early as possible. Applications normally close at the end of August but may close sooner if all places are filled.
