Pre-Master's in Science and Engineering - Continue to Master of Science - Geological and Environmental Hazards

If students are fascinated by the natural and man-made hazards that affect the planet and want to understand the physical processes that generate natural hazards, then the MSc Geological and Environmental Hazards degree course will take their understanding of the challenges ahead to the next level.

This course focuses on the physical processes that generate natural hazards through an advanced understanding of geological processes, mechanical behaviour of geological materials, field recognition and mapping of hazards, catastrophe modelling, quantitative hazard modelling and risk assessment techniques.

Students will be trained by experts in hazard identification, terrain evaluation, hazard modeling and risk assessment techniques. They'll also learn to manage the impact of floods, earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes, coastal erosion and climate change. Students will understand how to monitor, warn against and help control the consequences of natural hazards.
