MSc Structural Engineering with Materials

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time, 2-5 years part-time or as CPD

Course Description

Designed for professionals aspiring to technical leadership positions within structural engineering design practice, our MSc Structural Engineering with Materials course focuses on applying engineering principles in advanced materials behaviour and technical themes, within structural engineering.

You’ll develop an advanced approach to research methods so that you can apply your knowledge and understanding of the continually changing issues related to structural engineering and materials. Through explorations of the environmental, technical and sustainability aspects of civil engineering and building construction, you’ll gain awareness, understanding of, and competence in, the design, management and construction of structures.

Who is this course designed for?

This course is suitable for professionals working in construction-related industries, who aspire to senior technical or management positions.

Additionally, it’s suitable for BSc (Hons) and BEng (Hons) undergraduate students in related subject areas looking to progress to study a technical postgraduate programme. The skills and knowledge you’ll gain on this course will open up opportunities to pursue senior technical and middle/senior management positions.

Student Destinations

94% of our Civil Engineering postgraduates (PGT) are in a ‘High Skilled’ role 15 months after finishing their degrees (of those available for work or study, latest Graduate Outcomes Survey 2019/20).

Students from this course will graduate with improved professional and technical skills to operate at senior positions in the construction industry. Although this course does not offer a formal placement, all our courses are vocationally focused and benefit from strong links with industry. Graduates have gone on to work for a wide range of national and international organisations in senior positions in both the consulting and contracting fields. Alternatively, some graduates have chosen to continue within the education sector and embarked on PhD studies.
