It is not only the specialist knowledge that you acquire but also the personal contact to teachers that makes this degree stand out. Students are taught in small groups by internationally recognised experts, who ensure that the information is understood. The applicability of the information taught makes it possible for students to start a successful career directly after graduating.
Career Options
Geotechnical and hydraulic engineers play an important part in the design, assessment and construction of infrastructure. They are in great demand in the employment market and are known for playing an important role in complex building projects.
Graduates work nationally and internationally
- in engineering offices,
- at firms specialising in underground engineering,
- for developers,
- at universities and
- for state property developers.
