Program Description

Become the best you can be in the construction industry with an accredited master’s in Civil Engineering from Coventry University.

• The Civil Engineering MSc is offered to UK civil engineering and cognate science/engineering graduates seeking a professional qualification as Chartered Engineers.
• The Civil Engineering (Technical Route) MSc is available for holders of an overseas bachelor’s degree or a UK bachelor’s degree accredited as the educational base for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng), for example a BSc in Civil Engineering or cognate science/engineering disciplines, for those seeking a professional qualification as Chartered Engineers through a ‘Technical Route’.
• The courses are designed to develop high-level knowledge and wide-ranging understanding of the planning, design, construction and operation of civil engineering works, exploring the traditional and innovative practices behind iconic constructions such as Wembley Stadium.
• They also aim to provide students with practical knowledge and innovative strides applicable to strategic management of construction and engineering projects, including relevant importance of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in construction project management.
• You will have the option to apply for a work placement opportunity2, designed to further develop your skills and knowledge with the aim of maximising your employability prospects. See modules for more information.

Upon successful completion, you will be able to:

• Apply knowledge and wide-ranging understanding of health, safety and environment principles and legal framework within which the construction industry operates, and undertake full ethical and professional responsibilities in the discharge of their duties.
• Apply in-depth knowledge and detailed understanding of structural and hydrological analysis, hydraulic design, innovative construction and maintenance techniques to civil engineering infrastructure.
• Apply innovative and advanced computational methods and simulation tools to model and analyse complex civil engineering and environmental systems.
• Apply wide-ranging understanding of experimental, analytical and numerical techniques for investigative studies in hydrological, environmental and geotechnical engineering.
• Apply detailed understanding in proposal development and writing; use innovative knowledge in sourcing, analysing and presenting data; and apply research methodologies to undertake independent investigation and academic writing of a specialised topic.
• Develop personal abilities in teamwork, leadership and communication.
• Apply corporate strategy and systems theory to the management of projects in engineering and construction industry.

The construction sector is one of the largest employers in the UK and demand is strong for civil engineering graduates.These courses are ideal for those seeking deeper and more advanced knowledge in a broad range of subjects for employment within the public and private sector as graduate engineers, or if you wish to pursue an academic or research-orientated career.
