Masters study enhanced by research strengths in nonlinear structural mechanics, transient hydro-thermo-mechanical finite element modelling, and urban flood management.

Study at a top research intensive UK university, within an engineering department ranked top 10 in The Times, Guardian and Independent university guides 2011.

Core modulesIndustrial Case StudiesGuest lectures from industry professionals, visits to world-leading companies and an individual case study with a local organisation investigating a specific problem.

Advanced Structural EngineeringTeaches advanced concepts in designing and assessing safe structures, covering challenges such as buckling and twisting, thermal integrity, vibration and earthquake design.

Advanced Geotechnical EngineeringExplores soil mechanics, including elasticity, plasticity, stress paths and soil behaviour, and develops complex geomechanical modeling skills.

Management ConceptsIntroduces company structures, financial management, accountancy, business methods and practices, and the essentials of project management.

Engineering MSc ProjectDemonstrates your ability to apply research techniques and methodologies, and adopt an analytical, systematic and creative approach to problem solving.

Option modules*Computational ModellingCovers the theory of numerical simulation and embeds practical understanding of fluid dynamics; developing modelling skills through project work.

Mechanics of MaterialsExplains the theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics and its industrial application; providing materials which can safely perform in many environments.

Urban Drainage and Waste Water ManagementIdentifies the problems and solutions for management of urban drainage systems and offers practical experience in using modelling tools.

Water Supply and Distribution ManagementManagement issues such as optimal design, leakage control, water quality management and water conservation techniques are explored, and distribution modelling tools explained.
