MSc Civil and Structural Engineering

Course Overview

You enhance your technical skills in various core areas of civil engineering that are in demand in the construction industry, such as advanced structural design, advanced 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 also 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 60-credit dissertation allows you to conduct a supervised research project developing actual knowledge in a specific civil or structural engineering area.

General Eligibility
