In this course, you'll develop skills in the analysis, design and assessment of engineering structures under general, environmental, seismic and extreme loading conditions. Accredited by relevant industry bodies and designed to meet the needs of the construction industry, the course offers a wide spectrum of structural engineering principles, as you learn about issues relating to steel and concrete structures. This degree is accredited as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired a Accredited CEng (Partial) BEng(Hons) or an Accredited IEng (Full) BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree. See www.jbm.org.uk for further information. As Edinburgh's top university for Graduate Employability (HESA 2010) and one of the top in the UK for Graduate Prospects (The Independent and The Times University Guides for 2009), we can offer you a valuable head-start in your chosen career. In this highly technical course, you'll develop skills in numerical simulation using a variety of software. You'll also learn failure analysis methods, the Eurocodes for the design of various construction materials under varied loads, research skills and the legal issues surrounding construction.

We offer industry informed courses which combine the optimum balance of theory and practice to equip graduates for success. 92.3% of our undergraduates are in work or further study within six months of leaving (HESA, 2012). We also offer a unique personal development programme called Stand Out. As a qualified structural engineer with advanced training, you'll be in demand in the construction industry worldwide. Alternatively, you may choose to use this course as the basis for further education, or a research position.
