Introduction

The role of the structural engineer is of growing importance to society as populations grow and the world becomes more interconnected. Skyscrapers are getting taller and bridges are getting longer. The Green Energy revolution requires energy generating infrastructure to be structurally designed for resilience in harsh environments, e.g. high wind or deep marine locations. As a major contributor to CO2 production (10% of global emissions), the construction industry depends on structural engineers to design energy-efficient buildings, using appropriate materials to minimise the environmental impact of the sector. Students on the MSc Structural Engineering course will be provided with in-depth knowledge and exposure to established and innovative ideas and techniques to enable them to develop sound solutions to structural engineering problems. It will cover the diverse nature of structural engineering through the integration of knowledge from mechanics, materials, structural analysis and structural design. The programme will also cover the latest technology trends in Civil and Structural Engineering including advanced computational modelling skills and will cover technical challenges and solutions faced in the management and delivery of large scale infrastructure works. Why Structural Engineering at Swansea? The College of Engineering's Civil Engineering department at Swansea University has an excellent and far-reaching reputation. Our new MSc in Structural Engineering aims to provide advanced training in techniques of structural engineering analysis and design. It is designed to provide specialist postgraduate professional development across the areas of steel and concrete design, structural dynamics, structural mechanics and temporary works, with a strong emphasis on computer modelling and elements of information management. Did you know these facts about our Civil Engineering department at Swansea? It is ranked 10th in the UK for Research Quality and overall by the Times Good University Guide 2020. It is a key centre for research and training in computational mechanics and engineering. Academics within the department have pioneered many techniques used in commercial simulation software today.
