Why Surrey?
Very few universities offer Infrastructure MScs, so we have addressed this by creating a unique programme, helping you qualify in a fast-moving area with all the skills you need to succeed. As a student here, you will receive first-class teaching from industry players and academics who are experts in their field and you will be equipped with all the knowledge needed to support the government’s National Infrastructure Plan.

The course is delivered by university academics, external key professionals from the infrastructure/civil engineering industry and government.

Programme overview
Our Infrastructure Engineering and Management programme aims to provide graduates with the background required to plan new and manage existing infrastructure. This course will broadly cover the planning, design, analysis and management frameworks of infrastructure systems.

This course will provide you with expertise in:

– Technical aspects of infrastructure engineering within a social, economic, environmental and political context
– Factors that affect and drive infrastructure planning and funding
– The interdependent nature of infrastructure across different sectors

You can expect to qualify on this course with a sound understanding of the whole life-cycle of infrastructure assets, the environmental impact of infrastructure projects and formal asset management techniques so that you can maximise the benefits of infrastructure assets in the future.

Why not explore some of our past and present student profiles, including Alex Salter, Ian Sandle, Evangelos Alexakis and Mina Giagia.

Module overview
The modular arrangement of the Infrastructure Engineering and Management MSc enables you to build a course suited to your individual needs and interest. The range of modules gives you flexibility and is tailored to both full-time, part-time and distance learning students.

The majority of modules run for ten weeks and comprise approximately 30 hours (three hours per week) of class time and 120 hours of self-study and assignments.

Successful completion of eight modules and a research dissertation are required for a student to gain an MSc degree. Eight modules without a dissertation are needed for a Postgraduate Diploma and four modules for a Postgraduate Certificate.

Infrastructure Engineering and Management module groups
Infrastructure Engineering and Management MSc shares some of its optional (technical elective) modules with other courses within the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemical and Process Engineering and the Centre of Environmental Strategy.

Compulsory modules have been designed to give you a broad overview of everything you need to know about infrastructure systems and management. Optional modules enable you to build on these and customise your degree to your own interests. You will study four compulsory modules, four optional modules and a research dissertation. Your 60-credit dissertation module will be supervised by an academic and/or professional member of staff in an infrastructure-related subject.

Compulsory modules (15 credits each)

– Infrastructure Investment and Financing
– Infrastructure Asset Management
– Infrastructure Systems, Interdependencies and Resilience
– Sustainability and Infrastructure

Sample of optional (technical elective) modules (15 credits each)

– Prestressed Concrete Bridge Design
– Steel and Composite Bridge Design
– Long-Span Bridges
– Water Resources Management and Hydraulic Modelling
– Wastewater Treatment and Sewerage
– Project and Risk Management
– Constructional Management and Law
– Structural Safety and Reliability
– Earthquake Engineering
– Wind Engineering
– Wind Energy Technology
– Subsea Engineering
– Energy Geotechnics
– Geotechnical Structures

Teaching
You will be allocated a personal tutor throughout your studies at the University of Surrey, and your time here can either be full-time, part-time and some modules can be studied via distance learning through the use of an interactive web-based e-learning platform (SurreyLearn).

Teaching hours
Each module corresponds to a total of 150 hours of work, which includes approximately 30 hours of lectures in the case of contact students.

Assessment
Modules are generally assessed by a combination of examinations and coursework. The latter will be in the form of case studies, reports on real-life infrastructure problems and essays on a number of suitable topics, in some cases supported by expert professionals from the industry and the government.

Each module is assessed separately. There is a written final examination for all modules at the end of each semester. The modules and the dissertation have a minimum pass mark of 50 per cent.

Entry requirements
A minimum of 60 per cent in an honours degree in civil engineering accredited to CEng (or a closely related subject), or a minimum of 70 per cent in an honours degree in civil engineering accredited to IEng (or a closely related subject). Bearing in mind the extensive nature of infrastructure, closely related subjects may include transport engineers and analysts, offshore engineers, nuclear engineers and risk analysts. If you do not hold the required qualifications, you may still be eligible for the MSc if you have had five years’ experience in the infrastructure sector.
