Masters

Course content
This Masters (MSc) and PG diploma postgraduate degree course in Structural Engineering is offered to civil engineering and mechanical engineering related graduates wishing to study structural engineering within a civil engineering context. This programme offers the opportunity to widen knowledge in the area of Structural Engineering by including structural engineering practice, wind engineering, structural behaviour (both static and seismic), geotechnical engineering and industrial research topics.
This opens up a wide range of career opportunities, as many of the techniques are applicable both within and outside the civil engineering design and construction industry.
Masters degree/MSc: 12 months full-time, 24-36 months part-time
Postgraduate Diploma: 10 months full-time, 24-36 months part-time
Course details
Designed for civil engineering graduates looking to specialise as structural engineers, or those seeking to advance their career prospects in the industry, this course will enable you to deal with complex structural engineering issues.
Decision making at a high level is often demanded by the industry, and here you will learn the techniques and
unlock the confidence to use your initiative, communicate conclusions and solutions and tackle often-unpredictable scenarios.
The course has been devised to meet the demands of both the UK and overseas engineering and construction industries. It offers advanced training to engineers aspiring to higher or middle management in public and private sector management.
You can transfer from the Postgraduate Diploma to the MSc programme, upon completion of the Diploma, provided you satisfy the MSc requirements.
Learning and teaching
The taught element takes place between September and May. It is possible to study full-time or part-time, as modules are delivered in intensive week-long blocks. This means that students can combine work and study, attending university for these weeks only. A student's performance is assessed by written examinations and individual coursework.
The research project report is submitted and presented (end of August/early September) for assessment. Students must normally reach a satisfactory standard in the written examinations to be permitted to proceed to the individual project.
Formal examinations are normally held during the week immediately before the Spring term, in early January, and during May; submission of the project thesis is usually due by early September.

Don't go out because others are doing it. Don't stay here because others are saying that to you. Ask yourself where you are likely to feel comfortable. You have to ask yourself - Why and What's in it for yourself? If you are single, why you want to live abroad and what's in it for you in India? Write pros and cons of both and then choose. Answering this question gives you more narrow choice. If you are married, you need to discuss with your spouse and parents (if you care for them). Ask them if they can manage abroad, with you. If your salary does't help with finances abroad then you also have to convince wife to work. If she is of helpful type then yes, she'll take on that responsibility and then transition offshore won't exhaust you much. Go to the prospective country and spend few days over there. Find out how hard it is to live day-to-day and then decide if india is worth it. If you live abroad in countries like US, CA AU and UK then one of the following things are the benefits to you -
Better healthcare. Satisfactory responses on government. Services like police, roads, water, electricity and disaster management. Better lifestyle. No gender dominant laws, no caste discrimination etc. Mixture of cultures. Better IT and startup opportunities. If you live in India here are some of the benefits for you -
Indian Culture. You'll miss the festivals and other religious stuff even if you are not religious. Whether you like it or not, it's a gift that we are born into this culture. Good People. Yes, they exists and make living here worthwhile. Parents. Unless you plan on taking them with you. Specific type of Indian woman. Extremely rare but the one who adjusts, family caring and loving. Food. You can't find any restaurant or driveway food abroad having good taste like you GET on chaupati food.
