We offer four degrees where you'll learn how to preserve our cultural heritage, design sustainable comfortable buildings, explore the latest materials and technologies, or develop skills in digitalisation.

Our courses may cover a breadth of subjects but all aim to give you the knowledge and skills to not only help your career, but also industry. We are thinking about the future of construction and what this means for society and the environment. This is why issues like sustainability, global challenges, and low- and zero-carbon design are key themes across all our courses.

Our courses

• MSc Architectural Engineering: Environmental Design
• MSc Civil Engineering
• MSc Conservation of Historic Buildings
• MSc Modern Building Design

As a joint department, good collaboration between architecture and civil engineering students is one of our core values. Some of the best structures in the world have been created by multidisciplinary teams who communicate well and bring their diverse strengths, skills and knowledge to a project.

We put this into action in our master's suite by having shared units across all courses in construction project management, and professional and research skills. These units complement and bolster your technical knowledge by giving you the understanding of a career in industry and the confidence to go out into the world and use it.

Three of our courses include a multidisciplinary project in Semester 2 where you'll work in teams of students across the suite to design a building. This is a great opportunity for you to combine your individual expertise to solve a design challenge with a comprehensive outcome.

We have a dedicated Postgraduate Employability team in the Faculty to help you develop your professional skills throughout your degree. They can help you build a strong CV, learn how to write a good application, and grow your confidence in interview techniques.

You can also access a range of resources through the University Careers Services including employer events, careers fairs and skills workshops. And our Skills Centre will help you bolster your academic studies with digital skills and English language courses for students whose second language is English.
