Structural Engineering MSc
Overview
Visible realisations
Structures are perhaps the most striking and visible realisations of mechanical principles in our environment. Encompassing everything from residential dwellings and refurbishments, to sweeping bridges and iconic skyscrapers, structural engineers combine technical expertise with creativity and craft in order to provide a safe and sustainable built environment for our society.
This course covers advanced structural analysis and design, structural computing simulation and also offering units linked with steel, concrete, timber and other construction materials. It will also provide you with knowledge to design structures under dynamic conditions.
Why Structural Engineering at LSBU?
- Specialised tutelage in advanced design techniques and a range of construction materials, both traditional and novel.
- Accredited by the Engineering Council. Highly-technical course makes gaining Chartership easier.
- Currently engaging in numerous research and development projects with industrial collaborators, providing industry-relevant dissertation topics.
- Training in the most up-to-date structural analysis and design software, included Robot, Revit and Abaqus.
Modules
Teaching techniques include: lectures, workshops, tutorials, laboratories, field trips and IT based blended learning. Visiting lecturers from industry contribute in some modules.
At the end of the course, you’ll either conduct a structural related research project or a design project.
