postgraduate degree programmes

• Do you have a first degree in science or engineering?
• Do you want to build on your existing skills and knowledge, or perhaps retrain as a specialist in a new discipline?
• Are you interested in pushing forward human understanding through original research, and in working with some of the world’s leading researchers?
• Do you want a career as an Earth or environmental scientist, or as an engineer?
  
  
• If yes, then a postgraduate advanced course or research programme in the School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Newcastle could help you realise your aims.
• We can offer you a choice of 16 MSc and MRes advanced courses (12 months full-time, 24-36 months part-time) spanning civil engineering and the geosciences. Our courses are taught by leading academics and make full use of our recently refurbished postgraduate training suites.
• We are also looking for well qualified applicants, with an enthusiasm for research, to take up NERC/EPSRC and industrially funded studentships for PhD (normally three years) and MPhil (normally two years) degrees in our multi-disciplinary research groups. Research topics range from archaeological chemistry through to water resource engineering. Many of our research programmes involve an initial three-month period of intensive theoretical and practical tuition and all are designed to offer a fast, efficient, and well managed route to a higher degree.
• Whether you are interested in a taught postgraduate course, or a research degree, you will benefit from access to the School’s enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly staff, its extensive research and teaching facilities, and its research-led learning environment.
