CURRICULUM

This is a 12-month course that starts in September. The curriculum of this course is made up of a taught element of 100 credits and an individual MSc research project element of 80 credits. The taught element is structured in the form of modules carrying 10 or 20 credits arranged within the two semesters forming the academic session.  The first semester is based on numerical and design modules aiming to bring students up to a common level in order to progress to semester 2, which is made of detailed technical core and optional high level subjects. The MSc project forms the major part of this MSc programme. It gives students the opportunity to develop their ability to learn, research and work independently. Students are expected to integrate their knowledge to develop practical evaluation and solution(s) on a significant project in the Civil and Structural Engineering sector. The structure of the curriculum, which shows the core (C) and optional (O) modules for this programme is presented in the table below. The curriculum may change, subject to the University's course approval, monitoring and review procedures, as improvements are made each year. More details, including learning outcomes and assessment, are available for each unit.
