Study Details: 1-2 Years
The programme is designed for graduates and professionals involved in the civil engineering, structural engineering and construction sectors who wish to deepen and broaden their technical knowledge and understanding of specialised areas of civil and structural engineering.
You need a first degree in civil engineering, structural engineering or relevant engineering discipline equivalent to at least a UK second class (2.2) honours degree.
Students with a degree awarded outside the UK must also meet the University's minimum English language requirements.
International applicants who need a student visa to study in the UK should check our web pages on UKVI-compliant English language requirements. The University also provides pre-sessional English language courses if you do not meet the minimum English language requirement.
Non-UK students must also meet the University's minimum English language requirements.

The course will equip you with the relevant technical and transferrable skills to pursue a career as a civil/structural engineer or technical manager with leading multidisciplinary consultancies, contractors, as well as research and government organisations.
You develop geotechnical concepts and techniques and learn about new methods of analysis. You apply techniques in geotechnical design and critically investigate the role of geotechnics in the civil engineering design process
You learn through formal lecturers and take part in discussions of techniques and analysis. Case studies investigate the applicability of techniques and the impact of the geotechnical process on the project and the environment. Discussion of the effectiveness of various methodologies and approaches take place in seminars.
The module will be assessed by a design report and an end examination.
Advanced Project Planning and Visualisation
In this module you explore engineering project planning problems and solutions and learn to develop knowledge in emerging technologies used in advanced project planning. You develop planning skills and knowledge of the key concepts and tools used in traditional and advanced project planning. In particular, you familiarise with: principles of project planning, multi-constraints project planning techniques, and advanced 4D visualisation techniques.
Advanced Structural Analysis with Dynamics
You develop your knowledge and understanding of structural analysis and design and are introduced to new methods of analysis. You apply complex analysis and design techniques, including static and dynamic analysis methods, to model the causes and solutions of problems involving the real behaviour of structures.
Formal lectures include interaction to discuss and critically evaluate the theoretical principles of core course material and its application to problem solving and design. Tutorials allow you to apply and develop the course material. Case studies are used to demonstrate application and effectiveness of analysis and design techniques. Your assessment is a technical report and an end examination.
