Links with Europe

Engineering Geology at Imperial has close links with its colleagues on the continent , which it greatly values.

Since 1990 the MSc course has used the Professors of Engineering Geology from Aachen, Paris and Trondheim as its External Examiner to ensure that the standarts of the course are compatible with the expectations of our neighbours on the continent.

The MSc field trip at Easter has visited a continental member country of the European Union every year since 1978. Numerous contacts have thus developed and a healthy flow of students studying Engineering Geology exists between the continent and Imperial.

Collaborative research is also undertaken, some funded by the European Commission and other funded independently.
