Ingegneria Civile

We offer a generalist MSc in Civil Engineering, to allow applicants with a degree in environmental engineering, earth science, maths, physics, and mechanical engineering to do an accredited MSc to convert to civil engineering. The generalist MSc in Civil Engineering is also suited to those with a background in civil engineering and wishing to diversify/complement their skills. You can select optional modules from the general Civil Engineering curriculum. You'll take the compulsory module ‘Civil Engineering Design Projects’ in both the generalist MSc and MSc with sustainability pathways. This module allows you to work on real projects. Students currently undertake a renewable energy project. If you're following one of the two sustainability pathways you can select an industry-led project. You’ll develop comprehensive and innovative designs that involve structural engineering, geotechnical engineering and water engineering, management, environmental and financial planning. In both generalist MSc and MSc with sustainability pathways, you'll also take the compulsory module 'Qualitative & Quantitative Research Methods', which supports the dissertation project. In the generalist MSc, you can select optional modules of your choice for a general Civil Engineering curriculum. We have a wide range of optional modules, and you will take 60 credits from List A plus 30 credits from List A or B (see Course Content). You can also select one of the two pathways, 'Sustainable Structural and Geotechnical Infrastructure' or ‘Sustainable Water and Environmental Management’ (see Course Content). The pathway enables access to the industry-led design project and application to MSc dissertation co-supervised by industry. Following successful completion of the taught component, you’ll undertake a dissertation.
