该课程为土木工程的主要分支提供了全面的基础，但侧重于与结构工程最相关的方面。该课程的目标与土木工程的目标相似，但是重点更多的是针对结构工程设计的技能和知识。此外，该课程旨在培养建筑项目设计的创造性开发技能。本课程的国际化目的是鼓励人们了解全球工程行业，并允许学生与欧洲，澳大利亚或北美建立联系。所有结构工程课程均由土木工程行业咨询委员会提供支持，该委员会包括来自主要跨国雇主的代表，他们提供建议，指导和工作安置机会。
The course offers a thorough grounding in the major branches of Civil Engineering, but with a focus on aspects most relevant to Structural Engineering. The aims of the course are similar to those for Civil Engineering, but with a stronger emphasis on the skills and knowledge appropriate to Structural Engineering design. In addition, the course aims to cultivate skills for the creative development of designs for construction projects. The international dimension of the course aims to encourage awareness of the global engineering industry and allows students to foster links with Europe, Australia or North America. All Structural Engineering courses are supported by the Civil Engineering Industry Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from major multi-national employers offering advice, guidance and work placement opportunities.
