Civil Engineering (with Infrastructure Planning) MSc

Set yourself up for a rewarding career in civil engineering with this comprehensive, one-year MSc at UCL. You'll delve into everything from structural dynamics and sustainable design to geotechnics and environmental engineering, building specialised expertise to advance your career in this fast-evolving field. If you’re looking for a specialist Master’s in civil engineering, there is no better place to study than here at UCL. The Infrastructure Planning route is for students specialising in this area, but who also want the opportunity to broaden their knowledge across a range of civil engineering disciplines. Combining theory with extensive project-based experience, this course covers the diverse facets of civil engineering – from structural dynamics and sustainable building design, to geotechnics, transport and more. You’ll also learn all about the decisions engineers need to make from an environmental and societal standpoint. “Bigger Picture” thinking will help you understand the context of your work as an engineer, so you can go out and create sustainable engineering projects that benefit people and the planet. There’s a big emphasis on transferable skills too, like communication, creativity, project management, and critical thinking – which, when coupled with your technical expertise, will make you highly sought after for civil engineering jobs in consultancies, construction firms, government and non-governmental bodies. This programme is ideal for you if you are interested in gaining the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to elevate your expertise and credentials as a qualified civil engineer. It is suitable for graduates in civil engineering, or a similar field, who want to pursue a life-long and fulfilling career in various sectors of engineering and its related industries. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree in civil engineering or a related subject, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Applicants who do not meet this threshold but have extensive full-time professional experience (not summer internships) in civil engineering or a related discipline can provide a portfolio demonstrating existing engineering and design skills, which can be considered.
