Summary
The role of the structural engineer is becoming increasingly vital as populations grow, and the world becomes more interconnected.
From designing ever-taller skyscrapers to longer and more complex bridges, structural engineers work closely with geotechnical engineers to ensure stability, and with transportation engineers to integrate these structures seamlessly into wider infrastructure networks.
The shift to green energy highlights this importance, with renewable facilities such as offshore wind farms and tidal generators relying on resilient structural systems for harsh environments. As the construction sector is responsible for significant proportions of global CO₂ emissions, structural engineers are central to sustainability as they can optimise materials, enhance energy efficiency, and collaborate across disciplines to reduce environmental impact.
Our accredited MSc in Structural Engineering will deepen your engineering understanding across the sectors of structures, geotechnics, transportation, computational methods and sustainability, and help you evolve into a highly proficient engineer, who can analyse complex problems, shape resilient infrastructure, and guide projects that matter most to communities.
The programme also helps you understand the principles of managing engineering teams and projects, reflecting the environments in which structural 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, taken via our Year in Industry option. Overall, you will develop a broad range of technical, digital, analytical and leadership skills that will equip you to address the complex challenges facing structural engineers in the decades ahead.
