The Extended Masters and Enhanced Extended Masters programmes at the University of West London are intended for students who already have an undergraduate degree but do not meet the entry requirements to study for a Masters degree. Over a full-time semester, students will study four modules specially designed to improve their academic and English language skills:

• Advanced Study Skills • Critical Thinking, Analysis and Evaluation • Statistics • English (Business English on the Enhanced course)

The Enhanced Extended Masters is similar to the Extended Masters, but with a greater focus on improving students’ English skills. It also includes a Business English module, which will allow students to gain a full understanding of this critical subject area.

Once completed, students will progress directly onto the core Masters course.

The MSc Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of West London is designed to give students a better understanding of the relationship between civil engineering and current environmental issues.

Students will advance their analytical skills in core subject areas, including structural analysis, sustainability, geotechnics and hydraulics.

Throughout the course, students will learn to use modern IT techniques to solve complex problems and will have access to a range of digital resources, including specialist simulation packages such as ANSYS, ETABS, SAFE and LUSAS.

The course has been designed in close consultation with industry and is accredited as a designated technical MSc degree by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM), which comprises the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, and the Institute of Highway Engineers. It is also accredited by the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors (ICES), and successful completion satisfies the academic requirements for chartered status.
