Civil Engineering problems require the application of analytical, decision-making and critical powers - the MSc Civil Engineering aims to provide you with the technical knowledge and skills you need to develop those powers. It will also equip you with a range of transferable skills; an ideal combination for a leading career in civil engineering.

The MSc Civil Engineering provides a comprehensive programme of study across a range of subject areas. For this more specialised course, you will choose specific modules in the first two semesters, together with a research project related to the theme of Environmental Fluid Mechanics.

You will concentrate on the technical knowledge and skills that are most relevant to the field of environmental fluid mechanics for the award of MSc Civil Engineering: Environmental Fluid Mechanics. Other subject themes are available as follows: Geotechnical Engineering; Mechanics; Management; Structural Engineering; Transportation; Pavement Engineering.
