Engineering geologists have a unique understanding of the ground and geological processes, making them crucial to all construction and infrastructure projects. Without their expertise in these processes and the potential hazards, developments risk not being safe - which is why this profession will always be in high demand.
Our Engineering Geology MSc provides you with the in-depth knowledge and skills required to embark upon a rewarding career in an industry which could take you across the globe, on a wide range of exciting projects, from sustainable infrastructure design to the assessment of environmental and geological risk.
Established over 50 years ago, our Engineering Geology MSc Leeds has strong links with industrial partners who are actively involved in ensuring course content is up-to-date and industry-relevant.
Engineering geology is the largest employment sector of professional geoscientists, and our graduates have secured positions across the world working in various sectors within the industry, finding solutions to a wide range of problems.
Why study at Leeds:
