Summary
With the advancement of technology, structural engineering, originally part of civil engineering, has emerged as a critical part for many other sectors, from aerospace to renewable energy. Following the Structural Engineering Institute vision for the future, this programme has been designed to be suitable for students from a range of engineering backgrounds, including mechanical, civil, aerospace, automotive and energy.
The MSc Advanced Structural Engineering programme offers a highly flexible curriculum, which allows you to design your course of study to suit your particular needs and interests, based on your academic background and the career sector you are interested in working in after graduation. This programme is designed to produce a new generation of professionals, equipped with a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of structural engineering and its applications in a wide range of industrial sectors such as civil and construction, aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, and oil and gas. Students following the civil, aerospace, automotive, oil & gas and wind energy paths, in addition to the core courses, select specialist courses in their particular subject area.
The MSc Advanced Structural Engineering is also distinctive because it offers courses such as Advanced Composite Materials, Lightweight Structures and Engineering Optimisation, which are crucial for students interested in pursuing a career in Aerospace, Automotive or Wind Energy sectors, where lightweight structures made of advanced composite materials and highly optimised for their performance play a key role.
