Is this programme for me?

Through the Pre-Masters Programme in Engineering and Computing, you will:

• Develop your understanding of concepts within mathematics and computing, including hardware, software and issues around design and usability
• Gain the mathematical skills necessary for postgraduate study by covering topics such as linear, second order, constant coefficient ordinary differential equations and apply to the modelling of engineering problems
• Complete a subject related research project.

When you complete the Pre-Masters Programme in Engineering and Computing, and achieve the required grades, you can progress to Civil Engineering MSc at Liverpool John Moores University.

Leading to: Civil Engineering MSc

Civil Engineering MSc provides a route to Chartered Engineer status. You will learn the skills required to excel in and lead a civil engineering team.

• This Programme is also available as a 240 credit routeway including a Group Project and Dissertation
• Study on a course informed by internationally recognised research from our Built Environment and Sustainable Technologies (BEST) Research Institute
• Enjoy excellent career opportunities in design and site-based roles
• Meet the requirements for Chartered Engineer status

Civil Engineering is a popular branch of engineering relating to the design and construction of large structures, such as bridges, roads, tunnels, tall buildings and flood defences. The overall aim of this programme is to produce Chartered Engineers who play a significant role in society as professional civil engineers. LJMU supports its students in developing the necessary skills to take on future leadership roles. The programme builds on foundational engineering knowledge and skills with a stimulating and challenging postgraduate programme of study that will advance your understanding and analytical skills. You will develop a critical awareness of current issues in the field, as developed by ongoing research from LJMU's Built Environment and Sustainable Technologies (BEST) Research Institute.

You will also evaluate the latest research and design methodologies, increase your understanding of ethical issues related to civil engineering, and your responsibilities with regards to sustainable construction.

In addition, you will develop a greater understanding of management principles and management strategies and be able to critically evaluate design, construction and operation within the context of both regulation and current developments.
