Course summary

Structural engineers help to make, shape and maintain the built environment, from buildings and bridges to water supply systems, power plants and flood defences. They are professionals who enjoy innovation, challenges, opportunities, responsibility and excitement in a varied and very satisfying career. Working in structural engineering provides a tremendous opportunity to make a real difference to people’s lives and their environment.

Our Structural Engineering MSc will equip you with the advanced knowledge and skills to succeed in this challenging industry. You’ll build your understanding of a range of core topics such as concrete and steel design, structural analysis, design optimisation and how structures are designed and managed in earthquake zones. You’ll also develop your research skills and focus on a specific topic when you complete your own research project.

Taught by leading academics and practitioners, you’ll prepare to face some of the significant challenges of the 21st century and have the chance to familiarise yourself with our industry-grade facilities at Leeds so you’re fully equipped to pursue a career in this area when you graduate.

This course also has close links with local and regional industry, as well as the Yorkshire branch of the?Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE)?– and you’ll benefit from the expertise of our active research groups across the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences.

Career opportunities

Structural engineering is one of the oldest professions in industry, however, the demand for skilled engineers will only continue to grow as large corporations in areas like construction and architecture will always need the expertise you’ll gain on this course to design, renovate and build.

From designing large-scale constructions like bridges or buildings to making alterations and extensions on existing properties or structures — the career opportunities with the skill set you’ll graduate with are exciting, rewarding and far-reaching across the globe.

This programme will also greatly enhance your ability to obtain status as a Chartered Structural Engineer which will give you the edge employers in industry are looking for.
