About Master of Science - Structural Design and Construction Management with Sustainability (Professional Placement)
This course focuses on the challenges and opportunities facing the concrete industry in meeting the demands of sustainability.

Students will take part in practical work, group work, case studies and presentations. Experts at leading civil engineering and construction companies contribute to the course. For the dissertation, students may choose an industry-relevant project to research.
The hands-on course focuses on the challenges and opportunities for the concrete industry in meeting the demands of sustainability. The structural design in concrete module is assessed by coursework based on the national university competition organised by The Concrete Centre, the trade body representing the concrete industry in the UK.
Kingston University allow students to take the option of a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The responsibility for finding the work placement is with the student; the University cannot guarantee the placement, just the opportunity to undertake it. Students may find securing a professional placement difficult as they are highly competitive and challenging, but they are also incredibly rewarding. It is very important for students to prepare and apply themselves if this is the route they wish to take. Employers look for great written and oral communication skills and an excellent CV/portfolio. As the work placement is an assessed part of the course, it is covered by a student's Student Route visa.

Graduates from this programme will be prepared for senior technical and managerial positions in both private and governmental sectors, including: civil/structural engineer, concrete technologist, materials engineer, technical manager, designer/ consultant, project engineer, construction engineer, sustainable construction manager, systems engineering consultant and project manager.
