Course Overview

This course adds an advanced practice module to our one-year master’s and is an opportunity to enhance your qualification through an internship, research or study abroad experience.

You enhance your technical skills in various core areas of civil engineering, such as advanced structural design, geotechnics, and water and wastewater treatment processes. You also further develop your conceptual understanding of critical aspects of structural engineering, such as advanced structural analysis and design, and become familiar with complex analysis and design techniques, modelling the causes and solutions of problems involving the actual behaviour of structures. You acquire advanced knowledge and understanding of the design of systems under dynamic and earthquake conditions. Advanced project planning and visualisation methods, such as building information modelling, are also integrated into the course. The dissertation is an opportunity to conduct a supervised research project, developing actual knowledge in a specific civil or structural engineering area.

General Eligibility

You will need a first degree in civil engineering, structural engineering or a relevant engineering discipline equivalent to at least a UK second-class (2.2) honours degree. Students awarded outside the UK must also meet the University's minimum English language requirements.
