Overview
If you are weighing up Civil Engineering MSc, the useful thing to know early is how much the entry terms vary between departments teaching it. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Civil Engineering pairs analytical modules with hands-on build and test work. We currently work with 21 universities on this course across 16 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £18.500 to £39.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.
