Overview

This technically focused Master's programme provides you with the in-depth knowledge you need to:

• design innovative structures
• manage construction in the built environment
• address the implications of earthquakes and ground challenges

It is suitable for candidates with an undergraduate degree qualification looking to strengthen their technical knowledge and improve their career potential in the sector.

You will be taught by research active staff, ensuring you are taught the latest theory and practice. It also means you’ll have opportunities to work on ongoing research projects.

You will practice by developing designs for real projects. In the design project module you will be guided throughout by our Industrial Royal Academy of Engineering visiting professor from Arup.

The programme is supported by our strong industry links; our Industry Advisory Board, made up of representatives from leading organisations in the engineering sector, informs curriculum development and research. Several members of the board deliver lectures, provide site visits, and mentor and potentially employ our students.
