This specialist course has been developed with the British Tunnelling Society and is suited primarily to civil engineering graduates working, or wishing to work, in the tunnelling industry.
The university of Warwick is a world-class institution offering the highest quality teaching programmes. With a unique integrated multidisciplinary structure for both teaching and research and strong links with industry, the School of Engineering is fast becoming the UK centre of excellence for tunnelling. During the course you will integrate and apply knowledge and skills to the solution of complex civil engineering and tunnelling problems at postgraduate level, apply understanding to novel and challenging situations and become aware of the limitations of the solution.
Tunnelling is a rapidly expanding sector on a global scale where suitably trained engineers are in high demand. For graduates of this degree, the career opportunities are extensive.
Scholarships are available - see website for details.
The degree can also be taken part-time over a period of two years. Individual modules can be purchased as CPD (Continuing Professional Development) courses.
