CENV6122 2026-27
Advanced Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical design underpins the performance of vital civil engineering infrastructure related to energy, water, transport and the built environment. This module will develop your knowledge and understanding of geotechnical analysis for a range of civil engineering applications, and will also develop your competence at numerical modelling and geotechnical design. It covers the design process from site investigation to construction, and introduces analysis methods related to both the ultimate limit state and the serviceability limit state. A major coursework element introduces you to industry state-of-the-art finite element software, and you will use this software for a practical design exercise. The module is illustrated throughout using practical case studies from onshore and offshore engineering.
The module is titled ‘advanced’ as it builds on knowledge from CENV2006 Soil Mechanics and CENV3020 Geotechnical Engineering. -

GGES3030 2026-27
Advanced Human Geography Fieldcourse
The purpose of the module is to develop students’ ability to undertake research in human geography by building on what they have learnt related to methods and research design in Geog2008 and practice-based learning on a fieldtrip and associated lectures, practicals and tutorial teaching.
The module will give them additional practical experience of carrying out research while developing their critical thinking through real world cases. Through the practical experience of undertaking group research projects as part of a fieldcourse, a range of research skills including design, methodology and data analysis will be learnt. -

FEEG6056 2030-31
Advanced Individual Project
Students on this module will undertake independent, original and critical research on a topic they initiate with an academic supervisor. Building on the knowledge and skills learnt during your Individual Project last year, this module enables you to carry out a further advanced research project in a related area, or on another topic.
You will develop your research skills through working closely with your supervisor, particularly focussing on how to communicate your work concisely to a wide audience. As part of an academic conference, you will produce an academic paper within a strict template and prepare an oral presentation. Through a review process and oral questions, you will also practice both using and responding effectively to critical feedback provided by academics.
