MSc Geotechnical Engineering with Offshore Renewables at Imperial College London

Gain specialist skills in soil behaviour, laboratory testing, numerical modelling and geotechnical design, and apply them to the investigation and development of offshore infrastructure. This course provides a rigorous grounding in geotechnical engineering, combining advanced soil mechanics, laboratory testing, numerical modelling and engineering design with specialist knowledge of offshore geotechnics. Through a balanced programme of theoretical study, practical laboratory work and design-based learning, you'll develop the skills needed to investigate, model and solve complex geotechnical engineering problems.
