Introduction

Why Choose This Course

Our Bridge Engineering MSc is the only master's program that specializes in this area in Europe – and one of the few around the world. Running since the early 1970s, our fully accredited course provides you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills in specialist aspects of bridge engineering, including designing new bridges and managing existing bridges.

This MSc will help you pursue an exciting career as a bridge engineer, which can include working for consultancies involved in bridge design or bridge contractors involved in construction.

Our program is fully aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and covers sustainability and resilience in civil engineering infrastructure design and assessment.

What You Will Study

Our MSc in Bridge Engineering is designed to provide you with a solid understanding of bridge analysis, design, and management. If you’ re a practicing bridge engineer, it will enable you to improve your existing knowledge and skills and familiarise yourself with new industry-relevant techniques.

This course covers a wide range of modules that address the whole-life analysis of bridges from design through to end-of-life. You'll also have a choice of optional modules from the areas of:

  • Geotechnical engineering
  • Infrastructure engineering and management
  • Structural engineering
  • Water/environmental engineering.

During your studies, you’ ll have the chance to visit a bridge site on a field trip (subject to availability), allowing you to experience how your knowledge can be applied in practice.

Distance Learning

Surrey is a pioneer in distance learning-based MSc courses in civil and environmental engineering. This flexible option allows you to study for our distinctive, accredited program from anywhere in the world, without the need to relocate or give up your existing job.

As a distance learner, you’ll study eight modules and complete a dissertation in your chosen subject (like full-time and part-time students), but you can take up to five years to complete your master's. You'll be able to access all module materials through our virtual learning environment, SurreyLearn, and arrange to take end-of-module exams remotely.
