The MSc in Structural Engineering is developed to meet the needs for education in the field of structural engineering by providing the skills needed to key professionals, who are or will be active in the private sector, in governmental institutions and local authorities and as consultant engineers.

Specifically, the proposed program will provide the skills for:
- Engineers who have recently completed their Bachelor studies in Civil Engineering or a related engineering discipline and seek a higher and focused education before entering the market
- Engineers who have recently completed their Bachelor studies in civil engineering or a related engineering discipline and seek to get involved in research and acquire an MSc before pursuing a PhD degree
- Engineers who wish to engage in consulting in structural engineering
- Professionals with experience in the field, who wish to extend their knowledge and place emphasis on the topics covered by the programme
- Professionals from public and semi-public organisations, whose work is related to structural engineering and related legislation

Specific Admission Requirements
Candidates’ minimum qualifications for admittance to the program are:
- Bachelor's Degree from an accredited University in Civil or any related engineering field
