Summary
In the coming decades, civil engineers will face growing pressures from climate change, ageing infrastructure and rapid urbanisation. To respond effectively, future civil engineers will need strong technical expertise alongside skills in sustainability, digital technologies and data analysis, as well as leadership and communication skills, to manage complex projects and collaborate with diverse stakeholders, in an increasingly regulated and low-carbon world.
Our accredited MSc in Civil Engineering deepens your engineering understanding across the sectors of water, transportation, geotechnics, structures and sustainability. The programme strengthens the technical foundations that you’ll have built during your undergraduate studies, and helps you evolve into a highly proficient engineer, who can analyse complex problems, shape resilient infrastructure and guide projects that matter most to communities.
This programme also helps you understand the principles of managing engineering teams and projects, reflecting the environments in which civil engineers typically operate. Along the way, you will build competence in research methods by completing a dissertation. This may focus on a subject of particular interest to you, or it can be related to an industrial placement, which can be taken via our Year in Industry option.
Professional bodies such as ICE and IStructE contribute to sessions within modules to support your understanding of routes to professional recognition, while the programme team organises site visits, industry talks and specialist workshops for all students. Those on the Year in Industry scheme will also receive additional support with profile development and placement applications.
