Structural Engineering

The programme integrates theory with practical application, enabling you to tackle complex engineering challenges in unfamiliar situations. You'll learn to analyse problems and devise sustainable design solutions while considering commercial, legal, and environmental risks. This approach ensures you can communicate complex issues effectively to diverse stakeholders. A key strength of our programme is its focus on emerging technologies and contemporary issues in structural engineering. You'll develop plans to address relevant regulations, while learning to incorporate environmental sustainability and energy management principles into your engineering practice. The programme's structure allows for detailed exploration of specific areas through an individual research project, letting you align your studies with your professional interests and aspirations. Please note: you will be registered on the MSc Structural Engineering, which includes a research project. All students will get the opportunity to apply to undertake an industrial placement as an alternative to the research project. Placements, subject to availability, are on a competitive basis and are subject to an application and interview with the placement provider. If successful, you will be moved on to the MSc Structural Engineering with Industrial Practise.
