MSc Civil Engineering

The MSc Civil Engineering programme is designed to prepare graduates for a broad range of civil engineering roles. It offers a general route for students who wish to pursue a career in civil engineering, along with two specialist options for those with an existing engineering background. These specialised pathways focus on sustainable infrastructure and environmental management.

All students must complete core modules such as a 'Group Design Project' and 'Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods.' The programme includes assessments through coursework, project presentations, and reports. Students on the sustainability routes can also participate in design projects led by industry experts and may have their dissertations co-supervised by an industry professional.

Founded as a place of useful learning in 1796, the University of Strathclyde is a leading technological institution located in Glasgow, Scotland. The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses across four faculties, including Engineering, Science, Strathclyde Business School, and Humanities and Social Sciences. The institution has strong links with industry, and its staff are leading experts in their fields, ensuring a high-quality education that is both academically excellent and applicable to real-world challenges.

Candidates are required to submit a personal statement in which they discuss their reasons for applying for the course and other relevant information regarding their studies. An academic and/or employer reference is also required. Students have the option to upload their CV along with their applications to demonstrate their work experience.

Grade Requirements
