This industry-accredited course offers a strategic overview of civil engineering and management issues. It addresses the challenges facing the construction industry and successfully combines structural engineering with advanced construction management.
This course will develop your professional, analytical and management skills, as well as improving your technical skills and knowledge. For example, you will gain communication, teamwork, IT and problem-solving skills.
Additionally, you will study subjects that are specific to civil engineering. In particular, a structural design module will broaden your technical knowledge of specialised civil engineering areas. This course also features an industrial project review and analysis module, which is designed to be taken in industry. This gives you the chance to address a real-world problem in an engineering environment.
Through a research thesis, you will be able to choose an area of specialisation. This can be an excellent selling point when looking for a job or promotion.
Throughout this, you will be supervised by a member of our research active academic staff. This ensures our staff are in touch with the latest industry thinking and bring best practice to your studies.
The research groups within the Sustainable Technology Research Centre cover a wide range of topics, including:
- land use
- building design and construction
- recycling waste materials
- efficient energy use and distribution
- water resources (hydraulics)
- monitoring using remote sensing
