Civil Engineering
Becoming a successful engineer within the competitive environment of the construction industry requires a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills. These stretch from a solid technical engineering background in the analysis and design of civil engineering structures to the planning and managing of medium-to-large scale construction projects. The School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at City University London offers technical and management oriented MSc courses focusing on both ends of the spectrum.

MSc Professional Engineering (Civil Engineering)
Why study at City?
- The two technical courses, MSc Civil Engineering Structures and MSc Analysis and Design of Structures for Fire, Blasts and Earthquakes offer a balance of theory and design, suitably preparing students for a career in Structural Engineering. Both of these courses are available on full and part-time basis.
- MSc Analysis and Design of Structures for Fire, Blasts and Earthquakes focuses particularly on the behaviour and design of structures subjected to extreme loading due to hazards such as those identified in the course title. Core modules cover, amongst other areas, Structural Dynamics, Earthquake Engineering and Fire Engineering.
- MSc Construction Management is a full-time "non-technical" course combining up-to-date management education with construction specific content. It provides graduates and professionals (Civil Engineers, Architects, Quantity Surveyors, Contractors and Consultants) with the knowledge and skills needed for a rewarding management career in the Construction Industry.
- MSc Construction Management is run in association with Cass Business School and includes modules from MSc Management, which currently ranks 3rd in Europe. The construction-related modules are delivered by senior professionals heavily involved in the practice of planning, financing and delivery of large scale civil engineering projects.
- MSc Professional Engineering (Civil Engineering) runs on a part-time basis only and is especially tailored for Civil Engineering graduates who are already working in the UK Construction Industry. This is another technical course, which allows some work-based learning and flexibility for students to select modules best suited to their workplace needs.
- All courses are accredited as further learning schemes for Chartered Engineer status by the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Structural Engineers.
- The School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences benefits from well established industrial links and graduates of the above courses have been successful in seeking employment with global firms based in London, elsewhere in the UK or overseas.
