This technically focused Master's programme provides you with the in-depth knowledge you need to:
design innovative structures
manage construction in the built environment
address the implications of earthquakes and ground challenges
It is suitable for candidates with an undergraduate degree qualification looking to strengthen their technical knowledge and improve their career potential in the sector.
You will be taught by research active staff, ensuring you are taught the latest theory and practice. It also means you’ll have opportunities to work on ongoing research projects.
You will practice by developing designs for real projects. In the design project module you will be guided throughout by our Industrial Royal Academy of Engineering visiting professor from Arup.
The programme is supported by our strong industry links. The School of Engineering has an Industry Advisory Board, made up of representatives from leading organisations in the engineering sector, which informs curriculum development and research. Several members of the board deliver lectures, provide site visits, and mentor and potentially employ our students.

Course programme

The modules for this course can be found in the latest programme specification.

The programme is intended to provide students with the advanced theoretical knowledge, concepts and skills necessary for original thought and problem analysis related to civil and structural engineering.

  • Advanced Geotechnics (20 Credits) – Core
    To extend the application of the fundamental principles of soil behaviour introduced in Soil Mechanics 1 and Geotechnical and Civil Engineering Design modules.
  • Construction Management (20 Credits) – Core
    To provide students with an understanding of the concepts and techniques of construction and project management with particular reference to their use in an engineering, design and technological organisational environment.
  • Advanced Structural Design (20 Credits) – Core
    To provide an opportunity apply and extend knowledge and experience of structural engineering design gained through prior learning and experience to develop a detailed solution to a complex open ended problem.
  • Design Optimisation (10 Credits) – Optional
    To establish an appreciation for the role of optimisation in modern engineering practice and to provide evidence for the premise that optimisation is one component of an integrated tool kit for addressing and evaluating multiple solutions to a variety of engineering-based problems.
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (10 Credits) – Optional
    To understand fundamental principles of the advanced numerical simulations in hydrodynamics. There will be an emphasis on developing practical skills to build numerical models to simulate free surface flows in practical contexts.
  • Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (20 Credits) – Core
    To study the causes of earthquake, shock wave propagation, earthquake intensity and scales, earthquake effects on civil engineering structures, standards for earthquake-proof design.
  • Research Skills (10 Credits) – Core
  • Sustainable Hydraulic Design (10 Credits) – Core
  • To develop an understanding of the basic concepts of engineering hydrology such as rainfall measurements, rainfall run-off and flood estimation methods.
  • Engineering Computational Methods (10 Credits) – Optional
    To critically review the application of the Finite Element (FE) method as a tool for engineering analysis.
  • Risk Management (10 Credits) – Optional
    Acquire a deep understanding of the concepts and principles of risk management and its interaction with other management activities, and directly apply them in a range of product and service industries.
  • MSc Project (60 Credits) – Core
    This project will further develop practical evaluation of professional engineering activity in a chosen specialisation. To extend the student's ability to plan, implement and review appropriate activities in a large and academically demanding project, in order to achieve an agreed set of objectives in a given time scale.

Students will be eligible to exit with the award of Postgraduate Certificate if they have successfully completed 60 credits and achieved the award learning outcomes.

Students will be eligible to exit with the award of Postgraduate Diploma if they have successfully completed at least 120 credits and achieved the award learning outcomes.

Students will be eligible for the award of Degree of Master if they have successfully completed at least 180 credits and achieved the award learning outcomes.
