Master of Science - Civil and Geoenvironmental Engineering

The MSc program offers individuals the knowledge and expertise necessary to pursue a career as a consulting geoenvironmental engineer within a multi-disciplinary professional team. The course aims to provide specialized postgraduate professional development in the emerging field, which encompasses aspects traditionally found in civil engineering, earth sciences, and biology.

Geo environmental engineering acknowledges that many environmental challenges cannot be resolved by a single discipline alone. Addressing issues related to human interaction with soil, groundwater, and surface water requires engineers to possess a wide range of knowledge and expertise. Cardiff University's MSc in Civil and Geo environmental Engineering equips individuals to tackle these challenges.

The field of geo environmental engineering encompasses civil engineering, earth sciences, and life sciences. As a geo environmental engineer, individuals may engage in various activities, such as managing contaminated land, studying hydrogeology, managing water resources, conducting geochemical analysis, predicting the fate and transport of groundwater and surface water contamination, performing environmental impact assessments, conducting environmental risk assessments, and managing habitats. Geoenvironmental engineers often collaborate within multidisciplinary project teams and developments.
