Course Details

Master of Engineering Science (Structural Engineering)

Course Description

This discipline suits practising structural engineers and recent graduates planning a career in Structural Engineering. Students develop their skills in the analysis and design of steel and concrete structures, and develop a deeper understanding of modern materials. This program allows students to develop advanced professional skills in computational analysis and design of steel, and in reinforced, composite and pre-stressed concrete structures. The Master of Engineering Science promotes flexible learning as a keystone of the program – it is designed for students who already have a four year accredited engineering degree and who now wish to broaden their job prospects through cross training, re-training or specialisation. This program takes two years to complete (students may be granted credit for some courses. Those with a degree or extensive professional experience in a related area can apply for credit of up to 50% of a program); it is a non-accredited program, and does not offer industrial training. The typical program structure comprises sixteen courses, broken down into: four Disciplinary Knowledge Courses, five Advanced Disciplinary Courses, three Research Courses and four Electives.
