Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time, 2-3 years part-time
The MSc Analysis and Design of Structures for Fire, Blast and Earthquakes is for engineering graduates who wish to gainspecialist knowledge in the behaviour of structures when subjected to such loading. Applicants working in the civil engineering industry may attend individual modules as short courses on a day-release basis.
The course is taught by staff from the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, with some contribution from Industrial experts. Teaching is mainly in the form of lectures, but IT sessions and seminars are also used where appropriate. Modules are shared between two ten-week teaching terms running October-December and January-March. Although work for the MSc dissertation commences during the second term, most of the research work is carried out during the summer months.
The duration of full-time studies is 12 months. A part-time route is also available, where students spend either two or three years completing this programme. For completion following two years of study, part-time students attend lectures for up to two days each week. Alternatively, three year completion can be achieved by attending a single day each week.
The standard entry requirement is an Honours degree (lower second class minimum) in civil engineering or another appropriate subject, plus evidence of good academic performance in relevant subjects (equivalent to lower second class or higher).
INTO Postgraduate preparation Programmes
If you do not qualify for direct entry, our partner INTO City University London offers academic preparation programmes which focus on the skills you need. Successful completion of the Graduate Diploma in Science and Engineering at INTO City University London means guaranteed progression to this degree.
Additionally, the University works in partnership with KIC London to provide preparatory courses for international students. Foundation and Pre Masters courses at KIC London offer comprehensive support to students including regular one-to-one tuition. Progression to the University is guaranteed if you complete the KIC London course at the required level.
For those students whose first language is not English or have not previously attended studies in English, one of the following qualifications is also required:

Full-time EU: £9,000 (2013/14 fees); Part-time EU: £4,500 (per year) (2013/14 fees). Full-time Non EU: £14,000 (2013/14 fees); Part-time Non EU: £7,000 (per year) (2013/14 fees)
Our graduates have been very successful in securing employment with leading civil engineering practices, research institutes and government agencies and pursuing doctoral studies both in the UK and internationally.
The course covers advanced topics of structural engineering and places particular emphasis on the special requirements necessary for the analysis and design of structures to withstand hazardous loading caused by earthquake, blast, impact and fire. The core modules of the course cover theoretical aspects of advanced structural engineering.
The electives primarily aim to develop design skills. The course offers a blend of theory and practice at postgraduate level, designed to enhance the career prospects of both recent graduates and mid-career structural engineers.
