Master of Science - Civil Engineering with Placement

The MSc Civil Engineering at the University of West London enables students to learn mathematical and statistical methods and techniques for the analysis of engineering problems across its core and optional modules.

The course develops students’ ability to use analytical methods and modelling tools for the analysis and design of civil engineering structures, while providing opportunities to apply analytical and experimental skills when working with structures under technical uncertainty.

Throughout their studies, students will expand their knowledge in areas such as structural engineering, construction engineering and management, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, urban water and hydraulic engineering, environmental engineering and civil engineering systems.

Students will develop the ability to use modern IT skills and modelling techniques to solve complex problems, with access to dedicated computing labs and specialist facilities including soil mechanics, concrete, hydraulics and non-destructive testing laboratories, alongside a range of digital resources and modelling tools.

The MSc Civil Engineering at the University of West London also offers a Placement Year option. This two-year route combines the full taught MSc content with a Guaranteed Professional Placement year in London or, where secured, a Paid Placement Opportunity, enabling students to gain hands-on professional experience across a range of companies, sectors and working environments.
