COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Structural Engineering course offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to develop advanced knowledge and expertise in structural design, analysis, and management. The compulsory modules cover both technical and managerial aspects, ensuring a balanced learning experience. Advanced Geotechnical Engineering explores complex soil-structure interactions, while Structural Systems Analysis and Advanced Structural Design focus on advanced methods of analysing and designing structures under various conditions. Structural Adaptation equips students with the skills to retrofit and strengthen existing structures to meet new functional demands or extend their lifespan. Alongside these technical subjects, Construction Project Management provides an understanding of managing projects effectively, addressing key issues such as risk, cost, and resource planning within the construction industry. Research Methods for Civil and Built Environment prepares students with the necessary tools to conduct rigorous research, supporting evidence-based decision-making and innovation in the field. The course culminates in a Dissertation in Structural Engineering, where students undertake an independent research project that allows them to apply their knowledge and demonstrate specialist expertise. Together, these modules provide a solid foundation for careers in structural engineering, preparing graduates to meet the technical, managerial, and research challenges of modern civil and structural projects.
