This programme has been designed to provide graduates with advanced understanding of engineering principles and their application to the design and construction of civil engineering projects.
Particular emphasis is placed on core topics of structural engineering and geotechnical engineering. These core areas are supplemented and enhanced by a range of related optional modules allowing candidates to obtain a degree of specialisation in a specific area of civil engineering if desired.
The programme can be followed as a 1 year full- time or 2 year part-time course, and consists of two elements: the taught element (i.e. taught modules with a total of at least 120 credits) and the research element (i.e. a 60 credits dissertation written in parallel with the taught modules and defended by oral examination).
Graduates from this programme have found industry jobs in local and international consultancy offices of civil engineering. Some others have successfully continued their postgraduate education joining in PhD programmes both in UK and abroad.
Career and progression opportunities
The course is particularly appropriate for work in structural, geotechnical , and/or coastal engineering.
Contents
Course structure
The MSc requires successful completion of six modules together with a thesis on an agreed subject; a PGDip does not require a thesis.
Areas of study
The course content reflects the professional expertise and research interests of the course team. Modules are appropriate for civil engineers wishing to wider their knowledge in core areas such as structural analysis, geotechnical engineering and hydraulics. The course also offers a degree of flexibility to undertake study in related subjects such as applied geology, water environmental management and construction management. The course has an emphasis on practical applications of advanced civil engineering concepts and much use is made of state-of-the-art laboratory, computational facilities and technical software.
Syllabus
Core modules cover geotechnical earthquake engineering, dynamics of structures with earthquake engineering applications, random vibrations of structures, rock mechanics, coastal engineering and wave loading, and hydrogeology.
