Advanced Structural Engineering MSc (Campus)

This advanced programme allows you to explore the new capabilities in Advanced Structural Engineering and have the skills and knowledge to apply your learning to new challenges in these industries. You look at composite materials, lightweight structures and engineering optimisation. These areas are relevant to Aerospace, Automotive, Wind or Energy industries.

Much learning that has been applied to all structural engineering has come from the oil and gas industry, aviation, subsea, large civil projects where there is a need for safety, reducing risk and performance in all the challenging conditions presented. Learning comes from a wide range of commercial structural engineering projects which enable you to enjoy challenging tasks. You study risers, hydrodynamics, risk and reliability, lightweight structures, mathematical optimisation to model scenarios, composite materials and their positive and negative aspects, vibration, offshore designs, fire and explosion risk and safety and fluid dynamics.

Structural engineering has always been an important discipline within engineering. Materials have become exciting to work with in terms of composition, enhanced capabilities and improvements to all aspects of life with innovations in Nano technologies, and smart technology linking into all aspects of engineering. There is always an increasing need to improve every aspect of life and work and structural engineering plays a big part in steady innovations towards wider applications and major steps forward.

You will learn about how different materials work, the challenges of designing for a variety of conditions, risk and performance and the interconnection with other engineering disciplines.
