Structural and civil engineering are the oldest disciplines in engineering. The environment surrounding the civilization is rich in structures and objects designed and constructed by structural and civil engineers. The structures are used for dwelling housing, offices, industrial plants, shopping and entertainment centers, bus stations, railways and train stations, airports, seaports, etc.

The built environment is where most of us spend our lives, and related industries constitute an enormous part of the global economy. In this master’s program, you will investigate issues related to manmade structures and buildings, working towards creating a more sustainable and resource-efficient society.

The society in which we live today is fundamentally dependent on the structures that structural engineers design and deliver. This Master of Engineering (Civil: Structural), therefore, addresses the specific core competencies and associated underpinning knowledge required of structural engineers.

The MSc in Structural Engineering aims to train professionals with advanced knowledge, capable of operating in all areas of structural engineering, including analysis, design, management, and maintenance of civil structures and infrastructures.

The course in MSc in Civil Engineering (Structural Engineer) is aimed at people interested in building- structures, it is open to structural engineers, architects and civil engineers with a bachelor's degree or a degree in a related field of study. The programme is based on the Faculty’s research of structural science and aims to provide practical and theoretical training in structural engineering. 

This MSc programme aims to develop scientific and technological knowledge on materials and structures in both the public works and industrial sectors. It is characterized by a high degree of scientific specialization.

Master in Civil Engineering Structures aims to train professionals with sound preparation in Civil Engineering Structures, so they can enter the national and international labor market at a more competitive position. The coursework component and the dissertation of MESTEC ensure sound education in analysis and design methods for Civil Engineering works where Structures and Geotechnics closely interact.

Accredited by the Romanian Ministry of Education since 2013, the masters “Structural Engineering” are 2 years post graduate programs, with teaching and examinations entirely in English language or in the French language.

Delivered with a unique focus on industry challenges and concerns, this course will equip you with strong experimental, numerical and analytical skills in structural mechanics for both composite and metallic components. This will help you to practically apply this knowledge to solve real engineering problems.

This accredited course will equip you with the knowledge and skills you'll need to become a chartered engineer with a strong understanding of the design of structures such as bridges and buildings. The course has a strong practical focus right from the start, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to take part in site visits and placements. You'll also carry out hands-on work in our specialist labs and facilities.

MEngSc Structural Engineering Studying this master's, you will cover a wide range of topics not traditionally covered in undergraduate degrees; the program includes specialist modules in structural dynamics, bridge engineering, structural design, and professional engineering. You will also learn how to work in a multidisciplinary setting through combined modules with Architecture students. Structural engineering is a continually evolving profession, and through the third Trimester Research Project, you will learn how to apply this specialist knowledge to develop new concepts and ideas under the supervision of research-active academic staff.

The MSc in Structural Engineering is designed with the current and future needs of the industry in mind. It is intended for graduates who wish to gain advanced engineering skills and stay at the forefront of developments in the structural engineering field.

Today, numerous challenging and exciting buildings are being designed and constructed in our society. Examples of such are tall and slender buildings or structures with long spans. Most likely this trend will further develop, and in parallel, new and increasing demands regarding long-term sustainability will be put on the built environment.

Graduates of the Master's Programme in Civil Engineering make a lasting impact on the world as they launch careers in which they design and apply innovative solutions that foster the sustainability of buildings and transport systems. A master’s degree in civil engineering offers you a way to develop multidisciplinary expertise related to the built environment and sustainability. A career in civil engineering requires a broad understanding of phenomena related to the development of the built environment, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to develop, implement and apply new technologies.

Illinois Tech’s Master of Engineering in Structural Engineering provides students with the advanced knowledge needed to design the built environment. Students learn how buildings and bridges may be designed to resist the forces imposed upon them by external loads, gravity, wind, and earthquakes. Up-to-date, computer-aided design techniques and the latest national building codes dealing with steel, reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete, and masonry structures are treated.
