You will learn how different structural systems behave, how they are designed for safety and durability, and how existing structures can be assessed, maintained, and improved throughout their life.

Topics include concrete, steel, timber, and composite structures, alongside emerging approaches to structural assessment and monitoring. You will also explore how sensor technologies, digital monitoring, and data analysis can support decisions in maintenance, repairs, and adaptation.

This specialisation is particularly relevant for careers in structural design and assessment, infrastructure engineering, and consultancy work. It will prepare you for roles involving both new construction, and the sustainable management of existing structures.
