Help the world adapt to urbanisation, climate change and natural disasters with a master’s degree in civil engineering.

This 2-year integrated course is ideal if you didn't graduate in civil engineering, but have maths and physics skills. You'll spend a year learning the basics of civil engineering before progressing to the main MSc course for your second year.

If you're an EU or UK student you'll have the chance to carry out your research project on an industrial placement. 

You’ll spend your first year studying key topics and improving your knowledge to prepare for your second year, when you’ll join the full-time MSc Civil Engineering course.

Throughout the course you’ll study:

• fundamental principles, methods, analysis and synthesis in civil engineering design and applications
• specialist modules in engineering fields such as: coastal, environmental, infrastructure, transport and engineering management
• information and communication technology relevant to civil engineering, as well as management practices, health and safety issues, risk assessment and regulatory frameworks
• the role and professional responsibilities of engineers in society

You’ll complete a research project to apply the knowledge and transferable skills you have developed on the degree. If you live in the UK or EU, you have the option to take the MSc with an 11-month industrial placement. This is an opportunity to carry out applied research on real projects, while working with major civil engineering companies and research centres.

When you graduate, you’ll be ready for a career in the civil engineering industry. Our graduates move into engineer roles with a wide range of leading employers including:

• consultants
• contractors
• regulatory and local authorities

You’ll have several transferable skills, making you attractive to many graduate recruiters in industries such as financial services, IT and management consultancy.
