Location of Edinburgh Napier University
Timber is becoming increasingly popular as a sustainable construction material, creating more and more opportunities for engineers who want to work with this unique resource. This course, the only one of its kind in the UK, meets a demand for suitably qualified construction professionals by developing the diverse range of skills of those that are already in, or would like to enter the timber industry.
You'll become a competent and resourceful timber engineer, equipped with the relevant training in analysis, design and assessment of timber structural systems. This both satisfies the needs of the timber industry and meets the academic requirements appropriate for chartered membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Institute of Highway Engineers and the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation. This means you will not only graduate with a postgraduate degree but a highly respected professional qualification.
Skills
You'll develop the ability to analyse, design and assess timber structural systems and assemblies as well as useful transferable skills in presentation, communication and team work.
Career Prospects
As Edinburgh's top university for Graduate Employability (HESA 2010) and one of the top in the UK for Graduate Prospects (The Independent and The Times University Guides for 2009), we can offer you a valuable head-start in your chosen career.
Should you be already working in the timber industry, in either a managerial or technical role, you'll find your employment options will be enhanced on graduation.
Entry into the industry, either directly from university or from another field, will also be facilitated, thanks to the practical experience and industry contacts you'll encounter throughout the course.
