MSc Sustainable Structural Engineering

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 2 years

Masters Degree Description

This one-year Sustainable Structural Engineering MSc at UCL will give you the skills required to lead the construction of safer, more resilient, and smarter buildings. Through industry-led teaching and design-based learning, you'll explore structural engineering within the climate emergency context and aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

If you’re looking for a specialist Master’s in structural engineering, there is no better place to study than here at UCL. 

This programme brings together theoretical approaches, technical and design-based learning, and extensive project-based experience. 

You’ll explore key topics in structural engineering, including structural behaviour to structure and infrastructure resilience under different hazards, and the latest technological advancements. Throughout, we place strong emphasis on sustainability, regenerative design, and net-zero carbon, with modules that focus on building and design skills for lean, low embodied carbon, and longer-lasting structures and infrastructure.  

Entry Requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree in civil or structural engineering or a closely related subject, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Applicants with a good performance in the core subjects (design, structures, geotechnics, and fluids) or extensive work experience covering these areas may be considered.
