Structural Engineering & Mechanics
Why an MSc in Structural Engineering & Mechanics?
This postgraduate degree programme is offered jointly by the School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow and the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. This exciting initiative will enable you to enjoy the benefits of the combined resources and complementary expertise of the civil engineering staff at two of Scotland's premier universities.
The goal of structural engineering is to predict the performance of structures under every imaginable extreme event (earthquakes, hurricanes, avalanches, fires and explosions). This programme empowers future engineers with a range of methods to analyse and design structures with quantifiable reliability over their design life.
The programe is designed to provide the advanced education required for the structural engineers of tomorrow.
Aims
- Provide you with up-to-date postgraduate training in the theory and practice of structural engineering and mechanics
- Assist the structural design and assessment processes to move away from empirical conventions and to base them on a more realistic predictions of structural behaviour and a more realistic descriptions of the loading environment
- To develop the ability to address open-ended problems creatively
- To develop generic problem-based learning skills and transferable skills relevant to employment and life-long learning
You can attend as full-time or part-time students or can take individual courses, to suit the needs of your own CPD programme.
Professional accreditation
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.
