Course Summary

Introduction:

This course focuses on enhancing the key management skills required of leaders in civil engineering and construction. Through it you'll explore the sustainability, management and environmental impact of structural engineering and applied technical themes.

Through an application of engineering principles in structural and building construction, you’ll gain a strong understanding of the design, management and construction of structures. You'll also develop an advanced approach to research methods, enabling you to appreciate and understand the continually changing issues in civil engineering project management, design and construction.

Who is this course designed for?

Our MSc Structural Engineering with Management course is suitable for professionals working in construction-related industries, who aspire to senior management positions. Additionally, it's suitable for BSc (Hons) and BEng (Hons) undergraduate students looking to progress to study a technical postgraduate programme. The skills and knowledge gained on this course will open up opportunities for application to senior technical and middle/senior management positions.

Careers and employability

Mentoring and support

During your research project/dissertation, full-time students will be allocated an NTU supervisor, whilst part-time students will have the chance to be mentored by a nominated Employer Tutor alongside their NTU supervisor. This will probably be a line manager who will be willing to act as a mentor to you during the course, supporting you throughout the course and specifically during the Research Project/Dissertation module. The Employer Tutor will also be a point of contact, and represent your employer to discuss your progress.

Course accreditation

This course is accredited by the

  • Joint Board of Moderators of the Engineering Council
  • , satisfying the educational requirements necessary for advancement to Chartered Engineer status with the following professional bodies:- the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) and the Institution of Highway Engineers (IHE), and will give you the opportunity to gain the necessary knowledge and skills to progress into a senior management role in civil engineering.

    Your employability

    Students from this course will graduate with improved professional and technical skills to operate at senior positions in the construction industry. Although this course does not offer a formal placement, all our courses are vocationally focused and benefit from strong links with industry. Graduates have gone on to work for a wide range of national and international organisations in senior positions in both the consulting and contracting fields. Alternatively, some graduates have chosen to continue within the education sector and embarked on
