Course content
Course structure
The MSc requires successful completion of six modules together with a thesis on an agreed subject; a PGDip does not require a thesis.
Areas of study
The course content reflects the professional expertise and research interests of the course team. Modules are appropriate for civil engineers wishing to wider their knowledge in core areas such as structural analysis, geotechnical engineering and hydraulics. The course also offers a degree of flexibility to undertake study in related subjects such as applied geology, water environmental management and construction management. The course has an emphasis on practical applications of advanced civil engineering concepts and much use is made of state-of-the-art laboratory, computational facilities and technical software.
Syllabus
Core modules cover geotechnical earthquake engineering, dynamics of structures with earthquake engineering applications, seismic design of reinforced concrete members, random vibrations of structures, rock mechanics, coastal engineering and wave loading.
It is also possible to follow a number of optional modules from other MSc courses within the School of Environment and Technology. These include modules such as: water treatment technology, waste-water treatment technology, water resources management, sustainable construction, construction management and hydrogeology.
