MEng Civil and Structural Engineering (Accredited CEng Full) H210
Our degree in Civil and Structural Engineering combines the core topics required to become a corporate member of the Institution of Civil Engineers with a wide variety of bespoke modules designed to meet the needs of the structural engineers of tomorrow.
10 of our lecturers are structural specialists - making Sheffield the right place to study if you value the breadth and depth of the knowledge of your tutors.
Sheffield graduates are highly sought after, and many take up key positions in industry. For example, the key consultant engineer for the Millennium Eye (with overall responsibility for approval of the design) was Sheffield graduate John Roberts.
Design modules form a central thread running throughout all four years of the course. In the autumn semester of Year 3 further advanced modules are studied. The course also reflects the fact that structures are increasingly designed using computers. You will be instructioned on how to use state-of-the-art structural analysis software and provided with a thorough grounding in the underlying physical and mathematical principles on which the software is based.
An integrated design project takes up all the spring Semester where you will devise plans for an entire eco-town or urban regeneration site. The project will involve investigating new methods and materials, developing both outline and detailed designs, and includes both group and individual work. You will work together with students from all courses and those studying civil and structural engineering will be expected to take the lead in the structural aspects of the project.
In Year 4 a range of advanced structural options are available, many of which are taught alongside our MSc students. In addition a 40 credit individual final year project will be undertaken.
This degree is accredited as fully satisfying the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

This degree has been accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, and the Institute of Highway Engineers under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
