What will I learn?

This unique one-year, full-time Master's programme focuses on industry-relevant skills, ensuring you graduate ready to make an immediate impact. You'll be able to specialise your learning through one of three curated pathways: Asset Management and Digital Transformation: specialise in managing civil infrastructure assets and data, utilizing systems-level thinking alongside mathematical and sustainable approaches. Composite Materials and Sustainable Design: develop expertise in innovative materials such as fibre-reinforced polymers, discover structural retrofitting, and learn how to integrate sustainability criteria into your design process. Earthquake Engineering: specialise in structural reliability, soil-structure interaction and natural disaster risk management making an impact on the efficient design of the built environment, the mitigation of seismic loss and the protection of human life. These pathways are specifically developed to align with the changing demands on future structural and civil engineers, aligned with recommendations by leading professional bodies such as the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE).

Entry requirements

For international students

Applicants will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent in Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, Architectural Engineering, Building Surveying, Civil/Structural Engineering, Engineering Design, Geology, Information Engineering, Mathematics/Applied Mathematics, or Mechanical Engineering. Other Engineering subjects will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applications may still be considered if interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, meaning applicants would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of their degree. Applications may also be considered if the final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
