Course content

This course aims to provide you with the technical knowledge and skills to develop the analytical, decision-making and critical powers required to solve civil engineering problems, along with the transferable skills to enable a leading career in civil engineering.

An innovative feature of the MSc Civil Engineering is that the degree title can be augmented to include a subject theme (e.g. MSc Civil Engineering: 'theme') by choosing specific modules in the first two semesters and completing a project related to the theme.

However, it is possible to choose a more generalised programme of study across these subject areas for the award of MSc Civil Engineering.
