Overview

Structural engineers create the 'bones and muscles' of human-made structures. The Structural Engineering MSc offered at the University of Surrey will equip you with advanced knowledge and skills in designing, analysing, and optimising structures to ensure their safety, durability, and sustainability.

Career opportunities

Surrey's well-established and fully accredited MSc will enable you to develop advanced capabilities in analysis and codified design in the specialised areas of structural engineering, building on the knowledge and skills you’ve acquired from your undergraduate studies. If you’re a practising engineer engaged in the planning, design and construction of structural engineering works, this course will provide you with an opportunity to update your knowledge of current design practice and become familiar with new developments in codes and methods of analysis. This course will open up a huge range of career opportunities, not only with major consultancies and contractors, but across other sectors such as management and business consultancy.
