This MSc course offers civil engineering graduates and professionals the opportunity to widen their expertise across the key sub-disciplines within civil engineering. It is designed to provide both holistic knowledge and practical experience in the discipline.

From the perspective of industry and government, graduates possessing a broader understanding of Civil Engineering problems are better equipped to contribute to global challenges, such as meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals) and tackling the climate emergency. The programme consists of nine compulsory modules spanning structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, water and hydraulic engineering, as well as project and infrastructure management.

Throughout the course, students will have full access to our state-of-the-art technical laboratory facilities. Our purpose-built computer labs are equipped with the latest industry-standard engineering software packages. These facilities are also at the disposal of students for their dissertation projects.

In addition to the course’s broad-based approach across various sub-disciplines, it also teaches advanced design skills and the versatility that engineers require to tackle the complex current challenges in the field of civil engineering.

At the end their final year, engineering and maths students are invited to showcase their project work at Brunel Engineers +, an event that both celebrates their achievements and gives them the chance to network with industry figures and employers. This video shows some of the projects exhibited at the 2024 Brunel Engineers + event, with explanations by the students themselves.

This degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprising of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, Institute of Highway Engineers, and the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired a partial CEng accredited undergraduate first degree.* See www.jbm.org.uk for further information.

NB: It should be noted that candidates completing the MSc who hold an underpinning accredited IEng degree or a non-accredited bachelor’s degree will need to apply for an academic assessment to determine whether they will meet the educational base for CEng registration.
