Summary
This course focuses on both concrete and steel structures, and how to analyse and design them to better withstand earthquakes, fire and explosions. We teach the use of innovative concepts and methodologies to provide an ideal grounding for an international career in structural design and construction.
**Course description**
On this course you'll discover a range of modern and innovative construction materials, analysis and design methods.
You'll study the crucial infrastructure that we all depend on, learning how to make it safer, more efficient and sustainable, and better able to withstand earthquakes, fire and explosions.
**Accreditation**
This degree is accredited as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired a partial CEng accredited undergraduate first degree. See the Joint Board of Moderators website for more details.
