Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Structural Engineering

This degree offers a thorough grounding in the major branches of Civil Engineering but with a focus on aspects most relevant to Structural Engineering. The aims of the programme are similar to those for Civil Engineering but with a stronger emphasis on the analysis, skills and knowledge appropriate to Structural Engineering design. In addition, this programme aims to cultivate skills for the creative development of designs for construction projects.

In year 1, students have the opportunity to visit a range of construction sites and experience guest lectures from professional engineers. In year 2 they have the opportunity to participate in Constructionarium, which provides hands-on construction working alongside professional engineers and tradesmen to construct scaled down versions of bridges, buildings, dams and civil engineering projects from all around the world. There is flexibility to transfer between Civil Engineering and Structural Engineering degrees in years 1, 2 and 3. In year 4, students undertake a week long collaborative design project working with students from across the built environment disciplines.
