Overview

The civil engineers of the near future will have to find innovative solutions to environmental challenges. We believe graduates from our MSc will be at the forefront of the new generation.

The core modules give you a grounding in engineering analysis and design. In the second semester, you can follow your interests and choose from a list of specialist modules.

The basic structure is September-June: taught modules and preparation for your dissertation. June-August: complete your dissertation.

Your research dissertation gives you the opportunity to work with an academic on a piece of research in a subdiscipline. We’ll give you training in research skills.
