This is a two year professionally accredited taught post-graduate programme suited to Civil Engineering graduates with appropriate prior learning at the level of a BSc. The programme provides advanced learning in the fields of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering. Your ability to identify, formulate, analyse and solve complex Civil Engineering problems is further developed. A significant research project enables you to develop skills to design and conduct experiments and to apply standard and specialised research tools and methods of enquiry to solve problems in new and emerging relevant areas of Civil Engineering infrastructure. These skills are key attributes for lifelong learning and continued professional development in an ever evolving society. While specifically addressing learning outcomes required for a career in Civil Engineering your numerate and problem solving skills will also provide access to professional careers in other engineering disciplines, business, finance, policy development and project management amongst others. The learning experience includes approximately two semesters of lectures, tutorials, studio work and group project work, with an eight month work placement in industry and an individual research project making up the balance. Assessment is by a combination of end-of-semester examinations and continuous assessment which takes the form of individual assignments, practical laboratory work and group projects for taught modules. These are complemented by leadership roles in modules for undergraduate students, and a series of presentations, a written thesis, and an oral examination for your research project. While testing your academic ability this assessment strategy also provides learning in the requisite written, oral, multimedia communication and leadership skills required of a professional engineer.

5 - PO5. Professional and Ethical Responsibilities: Understanding of and commitment to professional and ethical responsibilities towards people and the environment in the practice of civil, structural & environmental engineering.
6 - PO6. Teamwork and Lifelong Learning: The ability to work effectively independently and in diverse and inclusive teams, and to prepare for lifelong learning.
7 - PO7. Communication: The ability to communicate effectively on engineering activities to diverse audiences.
8 - PO8. Engineering Management: Knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and financial decision-making relevant to civil, structural & environmental engineering and an ability to apply these to one’s own work and to the management of projects.
9 - Students will be able to recognise the built environment and its interactions with the natural environment as a set of inter-related systems governed by scientific, mathematical and engineering principles.
10 - Students will be able to interpret, apply and use scientific, mathematical and engineering principles, data and models (both numerical and physical), coupled with appropriate research methodologies, to evaluate and solve complex problems.
11 - Students will be able to research, appraise and synthesise data and information from a variety of sources, have the ability to design and conduct experiments and apply a range of standard and specialised research tools and techniques to solve complex problems.
12 - Students will be effective communicators, being able to i) communicate their ideas and solutions to colleagues, clients and the public using different media and ii) listen to the needs of clients, society and colleagues.
13 - Students will be able to work independently and alone when required but also be effective team-members and leaders.
14 - Students will understand the responsibilities of their profession and the importance of high ethical standards in professional practice, along with the role and responsibilities of engineers in developing an inclusive and equitable society.
15 - Students will become independent, critical thinkers with the skills required to engage in self-directed learning throughout their careers having undertaken independent research and learning to define, solve and report on complex engineering problems.

The ME (Civil, Structural, Environmental Engineering) Degree Programme is a 2-Year, 2-Stage 120-Credit Masters Programme. Students must consult with and obtain prior approval of the Programme Director before registering to their modules. Students are required to take 60 credits in Stage 1/Year 1 and Stage2/Year 2 with a balanced workload of 30 credits per Trimester in EACH YEAR/STAGE.

Important Note re CVEN40730 Professional Work Experience: Students must register to CVEN40730 Professional Work Experience as their CORE PWE Module for Year 1. During the Autumn Trimester (Year 1 of the ME), students will be expected to submit their CV to prospective employers. Professional Work Experience opportunities will be offered by employers and places will be allocated on the basis of competitive interviews. In the event that a student is unsuccessful in securing a Professional Work Experience, the student will be required to register for the Alternative CVEN40500 Design Project and other Option modules for the Spring Trimester.
