Taught master's
As technology evolves, climate issues escalate, and the demands of the modern world diversify, our pioneering master’s courses empower you to make a difference.
For 200 years, The University of Manchester has continually solved big problems through innovative Engineering – making us the ideal place to truly deepen your knowledge. Our courses are designed alongside leaders in both international industry and research, providing you with the sought-after skills needed to fulfil growing demands in UK and beyond.
Will you master conflict resolution in MSc Management of Projects, earthquake engineering in MSc Structural Engineering, finite elements in MSc Mechanical Engineering Design, or something else entirely? The difference you make is yours to decide.
Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering was part of the framework at The University of Manchester in 1824, and we’ve continually evolved ever since. Today, there has never been a more important time for engineers to specialise in designing, constructing and maintaining our built environment.
As temperatures rise, climate-related disasters surge, and demand for freshwater increases, our postgraduates enter the world of work ready to adapt to the changing world. Ensuring infrastructure is resilient, sustainable, and ultimately going to effectively serve the people who rely on it for the long-term.
As you deepen your knowledge with advanced aspects of theory and design, your teaching is brought to you by leading researchers and engineers – who encourage you to explore experimental work and research methods. This is possible, not only with industry experts on-hand, but with state-of-the-art facilities which enable you to trial your practical skill and ability both in workshops and across various software platforms.
Here at Manchester, we've been educating the engineers of the future since 1824. Today it's deeply important to us to not only cover the necessary technical skills but also the environmental and social factors crucial in addressing climate challenge and building a better world.
Having recently moved to our new Engineering Building, we offer the latest laboratory and computing facilities to support your learning, delivered by staff at the forefront of research into all aspects of Civil Engineering, including new materials, renewable energy, and sustainable design.

Where to start?
As you deepen your knowledge, you might want to specialise in our MSc Structural Engineering – where you can develop a deep understanding of structural behaviour and design, including provision for extreme loading such as seismic and fire actions. Accredited by the Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) and IStructE, this programme provides an ideal entry to industry.
Alternatively, MSc Renewable Energy and Clean Technology will diversify your skillset with a multi-disciplinary approach – bringing electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineering together with physics and general engineering principles.
