Master in Advanced Structural Engineering (MSc) - ENU

Develop skills in designing and assessing engineering structures subject to seismic, extreme loading, and environmental conditions.

Accredited by relevant professional bodies and designed to meet the needs of the modern construction industry, this Master in Advanced Structural Engineering (MSc) offers a wide range of structural engineering principles as you learn about issues relating to steel and concrete structures and foundations.

Through this highly technical course, you will develop numerical simulation skills using various advanced software. You will also learn failure analysis methods, the Eurocodes and the code of practice for designing various construction materials, research skills, and the legal issues surrounding construction. Industry practitioners are regularly invited as guest speakers and lecturers.

Facilities: Heavy structural lab at Merchiston allows to conducting of small to large-scale structural engineering tests. Computer suites support students in using different finite element-based software to analyze and design structures.

The program is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprising the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Institute of Highway Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, and the Permanent Way Institution on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the academic requirement for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). To hold accredited qualifications for CEng registration, candidates must also hold a Bachelor (Hons) degree that has been accredited as partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
