The two Universities offer complementary expertise and the course has the support of the main Geotechnical Consultants and Contractors in Scotland. The direct role of industry in the course is threefold: through a 5-month industrial-based project, through input to many of the taught modules via a series of Case Studies, and additionally through special seminars, and field and site visits. The course may be taken on a part-time basis and will therefore appeal to practising Engineers who can attend one day per week. Funded places are available through EPSRC Advanced Course Studentships, SAAS Awards, European Social Fund and Panasonic Trust Fellowships. The Course consists of a series of 10 taught modules (eight compulsory and a choice of two from four optional modules), plus a project and dissertation. The taught modules take place in the first two terms and are examined during the first week of the second and third terms. The MSc degree programme can be taken either full-time (1 year) or part-time (2 to 3 years).     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
