English Language Preparation + 2 Term Pathway - Pre-Masters - Science and Engineering - Transfer to Masters of Science - Civil Engineering

The programme is designed to develop Students English language skills and introduce students  to essential academic and study skills before travelling to the International Study Centre to begin their academic programme.

The Pre-Masters is a  three-term programme that provides the specialist academic and English language preparation students  need to succeed as a postgraduate student at Durham University. Once they  successfully complete this Pre-Masters programme and achieve the required grades, they  can start their chosen Masters degree at Durham University. 

After completing this pathway, students will transfer to the MSc - Civil Engineering program. This course will provide students with advanced knowledge and understanding of Civil Engineering in three ways.  Firstly high-quality taught modules will introduce advanced Civil Engineering topics such as structural design and highways engineering. Secondly, a substantial Civil design element will equip you with the ability to carry out structural design using appropriate design standards and numerical analysis tools.  Finally, a major research and development project allows you to demonstrate the ability to work independently on a complex topic and demonstrate initiative in the solution of engineering challenges.
