Course Summary

Course description

On this course you'll discover a range of modern and innovative construction materials, analysis and design methods.

You'll study the crucial infrastructure that we all depend on, learning how to make it safer, more efficient and sustainable, and better able to withstand earthquakes, fire and explosions.

Accreditation

This degree is accredited by the

  • Joint Board of Moderators (JBM)
  • comprising of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, Institute of Highway Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Permanent Way Institution on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the academic requirement for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

    To hold accredited qualifications for CEng registration, candidates must also hold a Bachelor (Hons) degree that has been accredited as partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). See the

  • JBM
  • website for further information.

    Candidates completing the MSc who hold an underpinning accredited Bachelor degree accredited for IEng only or a non-accredited bachelor degree will need to apply for an academic assessment to determine whether they will meet the educational base for CEng registration.

    Assessment

    Your assessments will include formal examinations, coursework and research projects. Regular feedback is also provided, so that you can understand your own development throughout the course.

    Modules

    This module aims to give those with a basic background in the design of reinforced concrete structures an understanding of selected advanced topics in the field, including the use of new concepts, construction techniques and materials. The module also provides a revision of some of the fundamental principles of reinforced concrete design. In particular, it deals with short and long-term deflections, creep, shrinkage, ductility, section analysis, prestressing, shear and cracking.

    Entry requirements

    A minimum 2:1 honours degree (BEng, MEng, BSc) in civil or structural engineering or another appropriate engineering or science subject. You will need a strong background and high previous performance (equivalent to 2:1) in at least one maths module (eg mathematics, statistics, linear algebra, calculus) and structural engineering and construction-related modules (eg structural mechanics, construction materials and structural analysis). We'll consider your application if you have appropriate professional qualifications and work experience, but you'll need a strong background in the areas covered on the course."
