BEng (Hons) Structural Engineering covers the same thorough grounding in the major branches of civil engineering such as materials, structures, geotechnics, water engineering, and transportation engineering. This programme offers a stronger emphasis on the analysis, skills and knowledge appropriate to structural engineering design, and will provide you with the key skills and knowledge required to continue onto chartered status as a structural engineer.

You’ll concentrate on analysis and behaviours of materials in the early years of the degree, with a focus on structural design and management as you progress through your studies.

Your personal development within a professional environment will be supported and developed throughout your studies to ensure you gain the core technical skills and personal qualities required to strive within the dynamic built environment industry at the highest possible technical level.
