Master of Science - Civil and Structural Engineering (with Advanced Practice)

The Teesside University programme is designed for graduates and professionals involved in the civil engineering, structural engineering and construction sectors who wish to deepen and broaden their technical knowledge and understanding of specialized areas of civil and structural engineering.

Students enhance their technical skills in various core areas of civil engineering that are in demand in the construction industry, such as advanced structural design, advanced geotechnics, and water and waste water treatment processes. Students also further develop their conceptual understanding of critical aspects of structural engineering, such as advanced structural analysis and design, and become familiar with complex analysis and design techniques, modelling the causes and solutions of problems involving the real behaviour of structures. Students also acquire an advanced knowledge and understanding of the design of structures under dynamic and earthquake conditions. Advanced project planning and visualization methods, such as building information modelling, are also integrated into the course. The 60-credit dissertation gives students the opportunity to conduct a supervised research project developing original knowledge in a specific area of civil or structural engineering.

The two-year master’s degree with advanced practice enhances students' qualification by adding a vocational or research based internship to the one-year master’s programme.
