Students who are driven by the challenge of designing and building the infrastructure of the future will find their home in this integrated masters programme. This course is for those who possess an analytical and technical mind, combined with the creativity to solve complex problems within an increasingly sustainable world. You will not just study the theory of civil engineering, but actively apply it, moving beyond the capabilities of a standard bachelor's degree to master the intricacies of modern construction.

Focus on Sustainable Infrastructure

The curriculum is designed to address the pressing demands of climate change and resource conservation. You will engage with eco-friendly design principles, responsible construction practices, and innovative engineering solutions. By integrating ethics, project management, and environmental awareness, the programme prepares you to lead in a field where sustainability is no longer optional, but foundational.

You will benefit from Aston University’s strong industry partnerships, which facilitate hands-on learning through live projects and a compulsory placement year. Whether working on structural analysis or mastering digital construction tools like BIM, you are being prepared for a high-impact career that connects theoretical knowledge with real-world, industry-standard application.
