This industry-accredited course is tailored to civil and/or structural engineers wishing to become senior managers in both consulting engineering and contracting organisations. It is ideal for graduate engineers starting their career in the construction industry.
Students will study the design of both standard and innovative structures and substructures, in normal and earthquake contexts, using steel and concrete. They will also examine the financial, legal and contractual aspects of the construction process. Gaining a knowledge of management techniques and contract administration, students will practise the supervision of construction projects.
Experts at leading civil engineering and construction companies contribute to the course, enabling students to develop a wider perspective and understanding of the worldwide issues facing the construction industry. Through an industry-relevant dissertation, students will be able to extend their knowledge in a specialist area.
Graduates have progressed into roles like civil/structural engineer, concrete technologist, materials engineer, project engineer, and construction engineer.
