在这里学什么？

This one-year, full-time course keeps close to engineering practice and is available with two pathways: Sustainable Highways or Sustainable Railways.

Overview

Sustainability is more than a badge – assessing condition, assessing sustainability, diagnosis of faults, risk assessment and decision-making are pervasive features of all the engineering application topics covered by the courses, while the more fundamental topics in the MSc programme provide the tools to achieve these.

Overall, this MSc programme seeks to show how advanced engineering techniques can best be applied in industry-relevant practice. Therefore it is biased more towards team-working and practice-related challenges, so as to test understanding and application skills, than towards narrow individual research studies.

It integrates physical understanding of the constituent materials of road and rail infrastructure and of their deterioration due to traffic and environment with modern techniques of condition assessment and asset management planning so as to extend reliable service lives, increase life-cycles and provide sustainable service for users. These threads run throughout our teaching. Tutor-led work in each semester provide a continuous thread of design development. This can lead into the summer period project

Both of the pathways within this MSc programme take a radical, hands-on approach by linking traditional teaching intimately to near-real life highway and railway engineering problems. Practising engineers contribute many guest lectures to show how real-life application works.

This course provides the technical knowledge and skills to develop the analytical, decision-making and critical powers required to solve, in a sustainable way, genuine, practical highway and railway engineering problems. It will help you to develop transferable skills which could lead to a successful career in highway or railway engineering.

Practical and realistic, industry-inspired projects (reviewed by industry advisers) will be used from the outset. Much of the material taught in lectures and seminars will be assessed via highway or railway project work, performed both individually and in design teams. Project work, engineering design, analysis and critique are central to all parts of the course.

Accreditation

This MSc is accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and by the Institute of Highway Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Careers

The blend of academic study and development of practical and professional skills that the course provides is an ideal preparation for the future challenges of working in a multidisciplinary environment. Graduates of this course will be highly sought-after and enter a range of careers related to the field of highway or railway engineering.

The acquisition of a masters degree demonstrates a high level of knowledge in a specific field. Whether you are using it to enhance your employability, as preparation for further academic research or as a means of vocational training, you may benefit from careers advice as to how you can use your new found skills to their full potential.
