This industry-accredited course is tailored to civil and/or structural engineers wishing to become senior managers in both consulting engineering and contracting organisations. It is ideal for graduate engineers starting their career in the construction industry.
Students will study the design of both standard and innovative structures and substructures, in normal and earthquake contexts, using steel and concrete. They will also examine the financial, legal and contractual aspects of the construction process. Gaining a knowledge of management techniques and contract administration, students will practise the supervision of construction projects.
Experts at leading civil engineering and construction companies contribute to the course, enabling students to develop a wider perspective and understanding of the worldwide issues facing the construction industry. Through an industry-relevant dissertation, students will be able to extend their knowledge in a specialist area.
Kingston University allow students to take the option of a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The responsibility for finding the work placement is with the student; the University cannot guarantee the placement, just the opportunity to undertake it. Students may find securing a professional placement difficult as they are highly competitive and challenging, but they are also incredibly rewarding. It is very important for students to prepare and apply themselves if this is the route they wish to take. Employers look for great written and oral communication skills and an excellent CV/portfolio. As the work placement is an assessed part of the course, it is covered by a student's Student Route visa.
Graduates have progressed into roles like civil/structural engineer, concrete technologist, materials engineer, project engineer, and construction engineer.
