Course summary
This integrated master's degree covers key subjects of structural, geotechnical and hydraulic engineering in a collaborative design setting. The knowledge and skills you'll gain will prepare you for careers developing sustainable civil and infrastructure facilities for a low-carbon future, while an industry placement will boost your employability. Prepare for a career in civil and infrastructure engineering, working with consultants or contractors and contributing to a more sustainable future. This integrated master's course covers structures, geotechnics, hydraulics, and sustainability, applied to civil and infrastructure engineering. We will build your professional engineering skills over four years, focusing on innovative and sustainable solutions to civil and infrastructural engineering problems. Individual and group engineering design projects will help to demonstrate your knowledge, skills and employability, while a fourth year at master's level helps you transition from study to professional practice.
- Benefit from strong links to industry through guest lectures and projects designed by high profile engineers
- Access world-leading laboratories, including our flagship Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility, where you will conduct research and test theories
- Get hands-on experience with concrete, soil and other materials testing equipment
- Take an optional placement year to boost your employability – recent placements have included Balfour Beatty, AECOM, Arup, Interserve and Network Rail
- Enjoy easy access to leading civil and structural engineering contractors and consultants, thanks to our central London location
- Fast-track your progress to Chartered Engineer status, with a degree that meets all academic requirements for professional registration.
Modules
You’ll develop a strong technical background for civil and infrastructure engineering. The Engineer in Society is an innovative theme across each year. We introduce you to the economic, social and technical context where engineers work, and develop your social responsibility, knowledge, and topical engineering skills. Year 1 Our shared engineering first year allows you to build a foundation in mathematics, engineering, physics, fluid mechanics, material, electronics and programming. You will take diverse engineering design projects. The Engineering in Society - Social responsibility (15 credits) Engineering Design 1 (15 credits) Introduction to Mechanics of materials and manufacturing (15 credits) Electronics - including circuits, digital and analog electronics (15 credits) Introduction to programming (15 credits) Engineering Science (15 credits) Mathematics 1 (15 credits) Introduction to Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics (15 credits) Year 2 You begin to specialise through modules including geology, soil mechanics, materials and structures, data analysis and surveying. You complete a design project in partnership with local engineering consultancies. -The Engineer in Society: Sustainability and Circular Economy (15 credits) -Mathematics 2 (15 credits) -Engineering Design 2 (15 credits) -Fluid Mechanics (15 credits) -Geology and Materials (15 credits) -Structural and Soil Mechanics (15 credits) -Sensor Systems, Instrumentation and Surveying (15 credits) -Data Analysis for Engineers (15 credits) Year 3 Take applied modules in analysis and design of typical geotechnical, hydraulic and structural forms, using computational analysis techniques and management. You will undertake the design of urban infrastructure. -Individual project (30 credits) -The Engineer in society: Infrastructure for Net Zero (15 credits) -Finite Element Analysis of Structures (15 credits) -Geotechnical Engineering (15 credits) -Design of Urban Infrastructure (15 credits) -Hydraulics and Marine Infrastructure (15 credits) -Construction Management and BIM (15 credits) Year 4 Transition to professional practice with an integrated design project, supported by industry partners and complemented with advanced modules. -Design project (group): Integrated Infrastructure Project (30 credits) -The Engineer in Society: Infrastructure Resilience (15 credits) -Energy Infrastructure and Sustainability (15 credits) -Structural Dynamics and Stability (15 credits) -Analysis of Geotechnical Infrastructure (15 credits) -Computational Fluid Dynamics (15 credits) -Energy in the Built Environment (15 credits) -Information Management and BIM in Construction (15 credits) -Introduction to Temporary Works - Online (15 credits) -Project Funding and Finance (15 credits) -Design of Concrete Structures (15 credits) -Design of Steel and Composite Structures (15 credits) -Bridge Engineering (15 credits) -Earthquake Analysis of Structures (15 credits)
Assessment method
Assessment is by coursework and examinations. Group learning and communication skills are addressed through design studies and presentations. Practical and technical skills are assessed through laboratory work, data analysis and project reports. Grades obtained in each year count towards the final degree classification, with increasing weight given to the later years.
