Geotechnics PhD Student Life

Our current students feel that the Geotechnical Section at Imperial College London is a great place to do a PhD because:

• You become part of a renowned and active research group
• There are excellent laboratory and numerical facilities
• The weekly meetings among PhDs give the opportunity discuss critical points of one’s research and seek advice from fellow students;
• You get broad feedback when you present your work in progress tothe whole section during research seminars that take place during the first and third year of the PhD
• There are social events all year long
• There are a wide variety of courses offered by the college, such as academic English courses ,  programming courses and other courses offered by the graduate school.
• The current research group also aims at maintaining a tight connection to the section’s alumni: in March 2017 an alumni event was organised and over seventy people were in attendance, allowing a formidable exchange between multiple generations of researchers.
