Unlike most other programmes in structural engineering that focus on the construction industry, the MSc Advanced Structural Engineering at Aberdeen has been developed to ensure engineers from any background - including civil, mechanical, aerospace, automotive and energy - can contribute to the advancement of society on a global scale.
In particular, we focus on topics such as advanced composite materials, lightweight structures and engineering optimisation – skills and knowledge that are crucial for engineers interested in pursuing careers in aerospace, automotive or wind energy sectors where lightweight structures made of advanced composite materials and highly optimised for their performance play a key role.
Almost all industry sectors are experiencing a period of tremendous change with technological developments in areas such as 3D printing, robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. This advanced programme is designed to produce the next generation of structural engineers who can embrace these opportunities to tackle the challenges of sustainable development, climate change, pollution and waste.
Minimum requirements for this programme are a 2:2 Honours degree in Civil, Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, Energy or Structural Engineering, or equivalent.
There are many opportunities at the University of Aberdeen to develop your knowledge, gain experience and build a competitive set of skills to enhance your employability. This is essential for your future career success. The Careers and Employability Service can help you to plan your career and support your choices throughout your time with us, from first to final year – and beyond.
