Enhance your career opportunities in civil and infrastructural engineering by expanding your skills and knowledge around structural design, management of construction projects, geotechnics and more.
We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.
Teaching and learning methods may include:
As a full-time postgraduate student, you will study modules totalling 180 credits each academic year. A typical 30-credit module requires a total of 300 hours of study. Study hours are made up of teaching contact hours, and guided and independent study.
Teaching hours may vary, depending on where you are in your studies, but on average you will have between 8 and 12 teaching and learning hours each week. You will also have the opportunity to attend optional sessions including time with a Success Coach or to meet with staff for advice and feedback.
Throughout your studies, you will be expected to spend time in guided and independent study to make up the required study hours per module. You will be digging deeper into topics, reviewing what you’ve learnt and completing assignments. This can be completed around your personal commitments. As you progress to the end of your studies, you’ll spend more time on independent learning.
As an innovative university, we use different teaching methods, including online tools and emerging technologies. So, some of your teaching hours and assessments may be delivered online.
This course will be assessed using a variety of methods which could vary depending on the module. Assessment methods may include:
The Coventry University assessment strategy aims to ensure that our courses are fairly assessed and allows us to monitor student progression towards achieving the intended learning outcomes.

This bursary will be used to offset the cost of your tuition fees to bring them in line with that of UK students. Students studying a degree with a foundation year with us are not eligible for the bursary.
Get hands-on investigating the mechanics of granular materials such as rock and soil. Key lab equipment includes Marshall test apparatus for asphalt mixes, a dimensional compression oedometer, triaxial cells, California Bearing Ratio apparatus, direct shear box apparatus and soil classification aids.
This facility helps you develop a greater understanding of water-related systems, hydraulics and the governing forces at play. The lab includes model bed channels, hydraulic flumes, a large-scale surge shaft model, Osborne Reynolds apparatus, hydraulic benches and an innovative canal lock design.
The light structures laboratory allows for analysis of the differing forces placed on different materials. The lab is dedicated to enhancing your understanding of structural calculations in a practical applied way, helping to embed your learning.
Facilities are subject to availability. Access to some facilities (including some teaching and learning spaces) may vary from those advertised and/or may have reduced availability or restrictions where the university is following public authority guidance, decisions or orders.
