Gain advanced skills in planning, analysis and justified selection of materials like timber, steel, and composites, with practical learning through case studies, simulations and a technical research project.
Ideal for civil engineering graduates, this course aims to develop your advanced skills in structural analysis and design. Upon successful graduation, you should gain hands-on experience and technical knowledge that enhances your ability to work in structural engineering roles.
This course has been designed to satisfy the requirements for accreditation by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM). The Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) represents The Institution of Civil Engineers, The Institution of Structural Engineers, The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, The Institute of Highway Engineers and the Permanent Way Institution. We will apply for accreditation in due course.
Start dates:
An honours degree 2:2 or above (or international equivalent) in any science or engineering-related discipline, or a bachelors degree accredited as partially satisfying the educational base for Chartered Engineer.
On successful completion of this course, you should be able to pursue a career in civil and infrastructure engineering consultancies, work as a contractor or for client organisations.
You should also be able to:
Apply in-depth knowledge and detailed understanding of static structural analysis and design, and mechanics of materials to civil engineering components and structures.
Model and analyse complex engineering systems by using innovative and advanced computational methods and simulation tools.
Apply wide-ranging understanding of experimental, analytical, and numerical techniques for investigative studies environmental, material, and geotechnical engineering; use innovative knowledge in sourcing, analysing and presenting data.
Analyse structures and engineering systems under vibrational and dynamic loadings using analytical and numerical techniques.
Apply detailed understanding in proposal development and writing; use innovative knowledge in sourcing, analysing and presenting data; and apply research methodologies to undertake independent technical investigation and academic writing of a specialised topic.
