Summary
**Why choose this course?**
Ranked among the 34 best universities in the country for both ‘Civil Engineering’ and ‘Building’, we offer cutting-edge facilities in our High Performance Engineering Centre, including construction site management simulation. We have links with industry and the course is developed and delivered by academic lecturers and guest speakers in collaboration with civil engineering employers, such as Underground Professional Services and Morgan Sindall.
The course is designed to develop knowledge and understanding of engineering principles and practices, together with methods used to analyse, design, test and monitor structural engineering systems, materials and structural performance.
From concept to construction, we aim to cover the technical skills required to analyse, design and develop sound solutions to structural engineering projects. Using case studies, practical sessions, simulation labs and site visits to live projects, you will have the opportunity to apply engineering principles and use computer modelling techniques to analyse complex engineering systems, gaining valuable experience of the work you will be able to carry out in an industrial context. Past projects have included the Severn Trent building and the Coventry A45/A46 by-pass.
**Key Course Benefits**
* Home to the Coventry University Simulation Centre.
* High levels of student satisfaction, 89%, above the sector average of 82% (2016 Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey PTES).
* Strong portfolio of research with 60% of ‘General Engineering’ research rated as 4* or 3* in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014.
* Accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JMB) as the educational base for Chartered Civil Engineers for holders of a CEng accredited Bachelor’s degree – a slightly modified ‘Technical Route’ is available for holders of Institute of Engineering (IEng) accredited degrees.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Applicants should hold a good honours degree 2:2 or above in a relevant academic discipline, such as Civil Engineering. Applicants with a degree in another discipline or with relevant experience will be considered on an individual basis. |
| Location | Main Site Priory Street Coventry CV1 5FB |
Summary
Structural engineers shape the world with their problem-solving abilities. This accredited course is offered to UK and overseas civil engineering and cognate science/engineering graduates wishing to specialise in structural engineering.
This specialist course is designed to provide advanced analytical and professional skills across planning, design and operational areas of timber, steel, concrete, sustainable composite and lightweight materials and structures. A technical focused MSc research project is also mandatory for students enrolled on this course.
This highly practical course is delivered with input from industry to help you establish or advance your career as a structural design engineer.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Normal entry requires a minimum 2.2 UK or overseas undergraduate honours degree in Civil Engineering. |

| Entry requirements | Normal entry requires a minimum 2.2 UK or overseas undergraduate honours degree in Civil Engineering. Holders of CEng accredited Bachelor’s degree can enrol on the course provided they meet the entry requirements. This will automatically meet the educational base for Chartered Engineer status. Holders of an IEng accredited or an overseas Bachelor’s degree will need to apply for an academic assessment to be formally approved for CEng. They may be required to complete extra modules if their Bachelor degree is deemed to be not technical enough. Applicants with professional/industrial experience and/or training, but not meeting the normal entry requirements will be considered on their merits, with the understanding that on completion of the award they may not be eligible for Chartered status as they will not be fulfilling the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) requirements. Applicants are therefore strongly advised to check with the JBM and Engineering Council before committing to the course. |
