| Description |
The goal of structural engineering is to predict the performance of structures under every imaginable extreme event: earthquakes, hurricanes, avalanches, fires and explosions. This Masters in Structural Engineering & Mechanics provides you with a range of methods to analyse and design structures with quantifiable reliability over their design life.
- This programme is jointly taught and awarded by the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh.
- If you intend to pursue a career in this specialist area of civil and structural engineering, in design consultancies and elsewhere, or if you want to transfer from other engineering disciplines, this programme is designed for you. It provides the advanced education required for the structural engineers of tomorrow.
- An extended project is an integral part of the MSc programme.
- This degree is accredited as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired an Accredited CEng (Partial) BEng (Hons) or an Accredited IEng (Full) BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree.
