Civil Engineering MSc

Why choose this course
Civil engineers design, build and maintain the physical world around us. Become a civil engineer, and you’ll be advancing and protecting the physical fabric of civilization itself.

Our well-established and fully accredited MSc Civil Engineering course will equip you with exceptional analytical and technical skills across a range of civil engineering disciplines, helping you pursue a highly successful career in the field of civil engineering.

Taught by research-active academics, together with practising engineers from consultancies and local authorities, this course will provide you with an excellent balance of academic and industry-relevant knowledge.

What you will study
Our fully accredited MSc Civil Engineering will help you acquire advanced capabilities and in-depth knowledge across a range of civil engineering disciplines including structural engineering, construction management, geotechnical engineering and water/environmental engineering, allowing you to tailor your degree according to your aspirations.

This course offers six study streams: bridge/structural engineering, construction management, geotechnical engineering, water/environmental engineering, and infrastructure management.

If you’re an engineer working in the construction industry and hold a related degree such as engineering geology or construction management, this course will provide you with the opportunity to expand on your existing knowledge and skills. It is also designed to update the technical skills of practising engineers engaged in the planning, design, construction and operation of civil engineering works.

Distance learning
Surrey is one of the only universities in the UK to offer MSc courses in civil and environmental engineering via distance learning. This flexible option allows you to study for our distinctive, accredited MSc courses from anywhere in the world, without the need to relocate or give up your existing job. 

As a distance learner, you will study eight modules and complete a dissertation in your chosen subject (like full-time and part-time students) but can take up to five years to complete your masters. You’ll be able to access all module materials through our virtual learning environment SurreyLearn and arrange to take end-of-module exams at a local university.
