The aim of the programme is to meet the needs of engineers engaged in the field of structural engineering and enhance their expertise in this area.
MSc at UEL
The programme offers several optional and self-contained modules in the field of Structural Engineering. Different areas, such as structural analysis of building structures and bridges, design in steel and concrete, dynamic analysis of structures, earthquake engineering, soil structure engineering, etc., are covered through the optional modules of this programme. The final core module will provide the opportunity of performing a supervised research dissertation acquiring and developing original knowledge in a specific area of Structural Engineering.
This programme has been developed from the MSc Programme in Civil Engineering, owing to the wide offer of modules in the area of Structural Engineering. Postgraduate programmes in the field of Civil Engineering and Surveying have been successfully run at the UEL since 1964.
