Analyzing configurations of the basic structural components of a building or other
structure;
• Calculating the pressures, stresses and strains that each component, such as a beam or
lintel, will experience from other parts of the structure due to human use or
environmental pressures such as weather or earthquakes;
• Considering the strength of various materials, e.g. concrete, steel and brick, to see
how their inclusion may necessitate a change of structural design;
• Liaising with other designers, including architects, to agree on safe designs and their
fit with the aesthetic concept of the construction;
• Examining structures at risk of collapse and advising how to improve their structural
integrity, such as recommending removal or repair of defective parts or rebuilding the
entire structure;
• Making drawings, specifications and computer models of structures for building
contractors;
• Working with geotechnical engineers to investigate ground conditions and analyse
results of soil sample and in situ tests;
• Liaising with construction contractors to ensure that newly erected buildings are
structurally sound;
• Applying expert knowledge of the forces that act on various structures;
• Using computers and computer-aided design technology for simulation purposes.•

MSc in Structural Engineering comprises eight taught course units worth 15 credits each and a research dissertation worth 60 credits. The taught units cover advanced aspects of theory and design relevant to the static and dynamic behaviour of structures in steel and concrete. Specialist aspects such as seismic and fire engineering are also covered. Additionally the course provides an introduction to finite element modelling, experimental work and research methods. A particular highlight of the taught component of the course is studying the behaviour and design of structures against extreme loading including fire and earthquake, which is taught by internationally leading researchers and engineers.
