Looking to develop professional, analytical and management skills to an advanced level? Greenwich's MSc in Civil Engineering enables graduates and engineers to build on their knowledge and specialize on individual projects. Moreover, it offers enhanced specialist knowledge in civil engineering and critical insight into broad management issues relevant to engineering and construction.
This course is run by a team of research-active staff and supported by the world-class experimental facilities, including the largest concrete slab testing rig in Europe, geotechnical and hydraulics laboratories, and one of the largest environmental chambers in the country. The university's extensive state-of-the-art laboratories provide the best possible facilities for conducting master's level research into all available civil engineering disciplines.
This course is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Institute of Highway Engineers) as satisfying the further learning requirements for chartered engineer (CEng) registration. Individuals must hold a CEng-accredited honours degree as well as the accredited MSc for full exemption to CEng status.
Core lectures are delivered by members of the School of Engineering who are specialists in their respective fields. Guest speakers from industrialists or renowned researchers are often included to bring additional perspectives from industry or research and keep students updated with the latest international standards in their discipline.
Greenwich uses different teaching approaches to give students a varied experience. This includes lectures, interactive paper-led discussions and exercises to encourage creative thinking. The taught modules are informed by research and the theory of each topic is accompanied by practical elements covering paper-based, computer-based and hands-on building type challenges.
This Civil Engineering programme is designed to give students the space for exploratory and independent study. They'll work towards individual and group assignments and undertake the preparation or follow-up work associated with lectures, seminars, integrative assignments and laboratory classes. Moreover, learners can take advantage of a range of extra-curricular opportunities available within the university and elsewhere.
Civil engineering graduates can join world-class engineering consultants, contractors and clients with established, accredited training programmes and continuing professional development opportunities worldwide.
