Programme Overview

Brief outline of the programme

This intensive 12 month MSc Civil Engineering programme is aimed at improving the knowledge of
graduate Civil Engineers so that they can further their careers. The programme is accredited by the
Institution of Civil Engineers and meets the further learning requirements to become a Chartered
Civil Engineer.

Learning and teaching

Acquisition of core knowledge and understanding is through lectures, seminars, tutorials, field and
laboratory classes, workshops, and independent study and research. You are encouraged from an
early stage to supplement and consolidate your understanding and knowledge by independent
study.

Assessment
Testing of the knowledge base is through a combination of Coursework, examination, individual
research project, industrial placement and reflective coursework.

As a research-led University, we undertake a continuous review of our programmes to ensure

quality enhancement and to manage our resources. As a result, this programme may be revised
during a student’s period of registration; however, any revision will be balanced against the
requirement that the student should receive the educational service expected. Please read our
Disclaimer to see why, when and how changes may be made to a student’s programme.
Programmes and major changes to programmes are approved through the University’s programme
validation process which is described in the University’s quality handbook.
Educational Aims of the Programme

The programme aims to:

 Provide you with a sound understanding of the fundamental principles, methods, analysis
and synthesis in engineering design and applications appropriate to the Civil Engineering
discipline.
 Provide you with a range of specialist modules integrated within the structured learning
environment, reflecting the internationally-renowned research expertise within the Faculty,
in order to broaden and deepen your educational experience.
 Enable your career pathway towards chartered engineer status.
 Offer you a degree structure that is relevant to industry and responsive to changes in
technology and the needs of the community.
 Provide you with a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment that encourages an
attitude of independent learning and enquiry, and fosters an ethos of lifetime learning and
professional development.
 Offer you a choice of research projects which are supported by the research activities within
the Faculty and stimulate individual innovation, self-assessment and teamwork skills
required in engineering.
 Afford you the opportunity of applying theoretical knowledge gained on the programme
through a substantial piece of research (dissertation).

forefront of Civil Engineering. You will have shown originality in the
application of knowledge, and you will understand how the boundaries of
knowledge are advanced through research. You will be able to deal with
complex issues both systematically and creatively, and show originality in
tackling and solving problems individually and as part of a team. You will
have the qualities needed for employment in circumstances requiring sound
judgement, personal responsibility and initiative, in complex and
unpredictable professional environments.

Programme Structure

The University uses the European Credit Transfer Scheme (ECTS) to indicate the approximate
amount of time a typical student can expect to spend in order to complete successfully a given
module or programme, where 1 ECTS indicates around 20 nominal hours of study. Previously,
Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS) points were used for this purpose where 1 CATS
credit was 10 nominal hours of study. The University credit accumulation and transfer scheme is
detailed at http://www.calendar.soton.ac.uk/sectionIV/cats.html.

The teaching is structured on a semester pattern. You study modules comprising 90 ECTS (180
CATS). The course is only available full-time.

In addition to the final award, there are the following exit points:

• Postgraduate Certificate of Higher education, following successful completion of 30 ECTS

(60 CATS).
• Postgraduate Diploma of Higher education, following successful completion of 60 ECTS
(120 CATS).

Each module is a self-contained part of the programme of study and carries a credit rating.

Methods for Evaluating the Quality of Teaching and Learning

You will have the opportunity to have your say on the quality of your programme in the following
ways:
 Anonymous evaluation questionnaires for each module of the programme.
 Acting as or represented by Student Representatives on the staff-student liaison committee.
You are also represented on the Faculty Programmes Committee
 Meetings, individually or as group, with programme external examiner.

It should be noted that meetings with personal tutor can also be used to comment on quality
related issues.

The ways in which the quality of your programme is checked, both inside and outside the
University, are:

• Evaluation for each module of the programme based on your feedback from evaluation
questionnaires and carried out by lecturer(s) involved in the module and a colleague acting
as advisor.
• Subject oriented Teaching Panels, convening at the end of each academic year, which
consider the outcomes of each module’s evaluation.
• Moderation of examination papers, coursework and projects, both internally and externally.
• Comments by external examiners, who produce an annual report.
• Peer observation of teaching for each member of staff contributing to learning and
teaching, once per academic year.
• Annual examiners’ meetings and examiners’ boards.
• Annual programme and module reviews considering your feedback from all sources,
feedback from teaching panels, external examiners and other bodies and student
performance.
• Periodic meetings of the Faculty Industrial Advisory Board.
• Response to results from the National Student Survey
• Accreditation by professional institutions.
• Periodic Programme Review by the University.

Note that quality assurance of part of the programme taken abroad, where applicable, is subject to
the quality procedures of the relevant institutions. These procedures are subject to periodic
monitoring by members of staff of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences.

Career Opportunities

Student graduating from our MSc degrees obtain employment as graduate engineers with many
leading employers in the civil engineering industry, both consultants and contractors and also
regulatory authorities and local authorities. Support is available to develop their CVs and interview
skills. In addition to careers in civil engineering, the transferrable skills that our students obtain
make them attractive to a wide range of graduate recruiters, from financial services through to IT
and management consultancy.

External Examiners(s) for the programme

Name Professor Marios Soutsos

Institution. Queen’s University, Belfast

Students must not contact External Examiner(s) directly, and external examiners have been advised
to refer any such communications back to the University. Students should raise any general queries
about the assessment and examination process for the programme with their Course
Representative, for consideration through Staff: Student Liaison Committee in the first instance, and
Student representatives on Staff: Student Liaison Committees will have the opportunity to consider
external examiners’ reports as part of the University’s quality assurance process.

External examiners do not have a direct role in determining results for individual students, and
students wishing to discuss their own performance in assessment should contact their personal
tutor in the first instance.
