Our MSc Bridge Engineering course is designed to provide you with a solid understanding of bridge analysis, design and management. If you’re a practising bridge engineer, our MSc will enable you to update your existing knowledge and skills and familiarise yourself with new industry-relevant techniques.

This course covers a wide range of modules which address the whole life-analysis of bridges from design through to end-of-life. You’ll also have a choice of optional modules from the areas of:

• Structural engineering
• Geotechnical engineering
• Water/environmental engineering
• Construction management
• Infrastructure engineering and management.

During your studies, you’ll have the chance to visit a bridge site on a field trip (subject to availability), allowing you to experience how your knowledge can be applied outside of the classroom.

Our masters courses in civil engineering open up a huge range of career opportunities, not only with major consultancies and contractors but across other sectors such as management and business consultancy. As a Department, we have an excellent and long-standing employability record. Recent graduates from our Bridge Engineering MSc have been employed by Atkins, WSP, AECOM, Amey, Mott MacDonald, Opus International, Tony Gee and Partners, Ramboll and Sweco.
