Our close relationship with all branches of the geotechnical engineering community ensures that our research and teaching draws on and utilises real-world solutions to solve complex geotechnical engineering problems.
The Geotechnical Engineer Level 7 Degree Apprenticeship provides apprentices with a broad understanding of how to model and analyse the ground in relation to natural and engineering processes. The apprenticeship focuses on essential aspects of the subject, such as: physical, chemical and mechanical properties of soils and rocks; ground investigation; field and laboratory testing; engineering geology and site investigation; analysis, design and construction of foundations, retaining walls, tunnels, embankments and slopes including methods of ground reinforcement and improvement.
Importantly, the apprenticeship also provides learners with a deep and robust understanding of pioneering approaches to managing geotechnical works and the risks associated with these. Through this, learners will develop the key skills required to become a successful geotechnical engineer in the workplace.
