What is structural engineering?
What is structural engineering?
Structural engineering is the discipline concerned with analysing, designing and verifying structures to ensure their stability, strength, safety and durability. It applies to buildings, industrial facilities and other structures subjected to different loads and forces.
What prior qualifications are required to study a master’s degree in structural engineering?
To study these programmes, prior knowledge of structural analysis is required. They are primarily aimed at civil and industrial engineering professionals, architects and graduates from other related technical disciplines who have a basic understanding of structures.
What types of structures are covered in the master’s programmes?
The programmes cover the design and structural analysis of building structures in concrete, steel, timber, composite systems and foundations. The specific scope depends on the level of specialisation of each Master's programme.
What software is used in the structural engineering master’s programmes?
The programmes use professional software for structural design, modelling and analysis. The tools used include CYPECAD and CYPE 3D, as well as CYPE Connect, Tekla Structures, Consteel, IDEA StatiCa and ETABS in the programme specialising in steel and composite structures.
What career opportunities does training in structural engineering offer?
The training prepares graduates for roles in structural design and analysis, project engineering, structural consultancy, technical design offices, structural BIM coordination, quality control, and the supervision of building projects.
