MSc Civil Engineering – Digital Construction

  • DeadlineStudy Details: Full-time: 12 month

Masters Degree Description

Study for a varied, creative career that can take you around the world. If you want to make a difference to the world and to the quality of people's lives, this is the course for you. Civil engineers shape the world we live in. They design, build, and maintain the infrastructure we take for granted and their expertise is essential for a sustainable future, both in the UK and globally.

What knowledge will I gain?

You'll develop invaluable skills with modern methods of analysis and design, employing building information modelling (BIM) and other digital technologies that are at the forefront of industry practices. You'll work in groups to solve real-world design problems, developing transferable skills for your future career, and valuable experience of how to manage and delegate responsibilities.

You'll have access to a diverse range of topics, including sustainability, bridge engineering, geotechnical engineering, railway technology, highway and pavement design, coastal engineering, asset management, and wind engineering.
