Environmental and Engineering Geoscience MSc

University College Dublin

Environmental and engineering geoscience is the application of knowledge on Earth’s near-surface materials and processes to inform the design, implementation and operation of solutions in our natural and built environments. Such insights are key to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals (e.g. clean water, affordable clean energy, sustainable cities and communities), as they underpin resilient construction projects (e.g., transport infrastructure, buildings, dams, tunnels), efficient renewable energy systems (e.g., wind farms, geothermal energy), and effective water resource and land management (e.g., groundwater supply, waste disposal, land decontamination).

This new MSc course will provide graduates in geoscience (or cognate subjects) with high-level knowledge and technical skills relevant for the vibrant environmental and geotechnical sectors in Ireland and elsewhere
