Course Description

This MSc aims to equip students with the skills of analysis and design necessary for employment as professional Civil Engineers, and give them a solid academic background for becoming Chartered Engineers. The programme combines integrated design project work with an individual research project in the student s chosen specialist field. What and how will I learn? Students develop an advanced knowledge of Civil Engineering and associated engineering and scientific disciplines. They gain an awareness of the context in which engineering operates, in terms of safety, environmental, social and economic aspects, alongside a wide range of transferable skills, enabling them to develop careers in research and industry. Degree Structure Students undertake courses to the value of 180 credits. The programme consists of a design project (60 credits), one core course (15 credits), three optional courses (45 credits), and a research project (60 credits). Core Modules Civil Engineering Failures and Qualitative Analysis Integrated Design Project Dissertationreport All students undertake an independent research project in a preferred specialist area, which culminates in a dissertation of 10,000 words.
