Master of Engineering in Geotechnical Engineering with Concentration in Structural Engineering Atlantic Technological University - Sligo Campus, Ireland

The MEng in Geotechnical Engineering with Structural Engineering and the MEng in Structural Engineering with Geotechnical Engineering are one-calendar year full-time postgraduate programmes for Honours/Level 8 degree qualified professional and graduate Civil Engineers who require up-skilling and higher education in the areas of Geotechnical and Structural Engineering. The programmes are also attractive to experienced Civil Engineers who are seeking to move from a different area of expertise into the Geotechnical and /or Structural Engineering domains.

The MEng in Geotechnical Engineering with Structural Engineering is for students who would like to conduct their research thesis in Geotechnical Engineering and the MEng in Structural Engineering with Geotechnical Engineering for students wishing to conduct their research thesis in Structural Engineering. The taught modules on both programmes are the same.

Graduates of these programmes can work as design or site engineers in the areas of Geotechnical / Structural Engineering at a level of responsibility appropriate to the increasingly complex and technical roles currently required by industry.

The programme has two primary aims:

•     To provide upskilling to existing civil engineers working or intending to work in the Geotechnical / Structural Engineering domains,
•     To provide a means for graduate engineers to meet the educational requirement for Chartered Engineer membership of Engineers Ireland, while at the same time developing advanced skills in Geotechnical and Structural Engineering. This is particularly relevant to Level 8 Civil Engineering graduates already in employment who wish to become Chartered Engineers.
