Master of Engineering Practice (Civil Engineering)

Overview

The Master of Engineering Practice allows practising engineers to build on and update their knowledge, and learn in additional areas to those taken in their first degree. The core subjects develop skills that all practising engineers need, and the choice of electives allows specialisation in the areas such as:

• advanced soil mechanics
• advanced foundation geotechnical engineering
• steel structures
• concrete technology
• engineering hydrology

The dissertation is a project allowing study in a particular area in depth. The dissertation develops skills in information retrieval, project planning and organisation analysis, problem solving, and effective communication of results.
