MSc Civil and Structural Engineering with Advanced Practice

The MSc Civil and Structural Engineering (with Advanced Practice) at Teesside University is a two-year full-time master’s course. It builds upon the one-year MSc by adding an advanced practice module, which lets students take an internship, research placement, or study abroad component.

In this programme, students deepen their knowledge in areas such as advanced structural design, geotechnics, structural analysis under dynamic loads, sustainability, project planning, water treatment, and the use of digital methods like Building Information Modelling (BIM). The programme spans 20 months full-time, combining taught modules, project work, and the advanced practice component.

Teaching uses lectures, seminars, tutorials, lab sessions, modelling software, case studies, and workshops. Assessment methods include design reports, coursework, exams, practical assignments, modelling tasks, project deliverables, and the dissertation or research project. The performance during the advanced practice placement is also assessed.
