This Postgraduate Diploma in Structural Engineering is designed to develop your engineering expertise in line with the ever-changing demands of the profession. The course will enhance your knowledge in all the essential areas of engineering, from structural dynamics and earthquake engineering to soil-structure engineering. It will ensure that your research skills and general understanding are sharp enough to give you the competitive edge as you build your career. This course is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) of the Institutions of Civil, Structural, and Highways and Transportation Engineers. This course consists of a number of self-contained, taught modules, organised around the various areas of structural engineering. There is a highly practical emphasis to our Diploma. You will learn the general theory and then apply it during fieldwork and by working on projects in our extensive laboratories, using the latest software. These projects provide you with the learning opportunities and practical skills you will use in your future career. You will leave with a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the most up-to-date practices and theories in structural engineering. You will have the option to transfer to our MSc course, providing you meet the required standard. Many of our PGDip students go on to become accredited chartered engineers. As a graduate from our Structural Engineering PGDip course, you can transfer onto the MSc course once you achieve the required threshold average. The course will prepare you for employment in a variety of dynamic consultancy and contracting roles in fields that range from infrastructure projects and geotechnical engineering to highways and transportation. The skills you will develop while gaining your Diploma will also enhance your career prospects in other related areas such as research and management.
