With a projected 2050 global population of 9.7 billion, demand for civil engineers to design, build, and maintain essential infrastructure is rising. This master’s degree in Civil Engineering prepares you to meet this need and pursue chartered status.
Key course content includes:
Transport infrastructure and structural analysis: in-depth study of pavements, bridges, railway infrastructure, and advanced structural mechanics using modern software and lab tools
Construction law and contract management: explores contract formation, legal principles, and risk management, incorporating problem-based learning and role-play for practical understanding
Geotechnics, materials and research: covers soil-structure interaction, sustainable materials, lifecycle assessment, and an independent research project to develop technical, analytical and communication skills.
Start dates:
An honours degree 2:2 or above (or international equivalent) in any civil engineering or cognate science/engineering discipline.
