This modular course is offered jointly by the Departments of Civil Engineering at the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde. Each module is spread over a period of two weeks and modules take place consecutively. The first four modules are compulsory and must be completed successively by students in order to be allowed to continue on the MSc. Dissertations titles for the MSc will be issued after the fourth module. In addition, students must submit a dissertation based on project work carried out during the remaining year.
Assessment is by a combination of formal examination and coursework.
