Course overview

The MSc in Intelligent Infrastructure and Management programme integrates all the contemporary key aspects of civil engineering design. Throughout the programme, students will acquire advanced knowledge and skills in digital technology applications in civil infrastructure, transportation system, and project management. The programme emphasises research-led teaching, actively engaging students through technical tasks, whether in group work or individual projects. Consisting of two semesters of taught modules, the programme culminates in a research dissertation completed during the third semester (during summer period). The programme may be accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM), meeting the Further Learning requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status for those who have already obtained a partially CEng-accredited undergraduate degree. 

Course structure

The programme will be expected to be available full time for 1 year (3 semesters) in China Campus from September 2026-2027. The plan is studied over one academic year of 12 months for full-time and two academic years of 24 months for part-time students. Sixty credits of courses are studied in each of the Autumn and Spring Semesters. Students need to take another 20 credits optional module from Civil Engineering or other relevant subjects at level 3 or above. A sixty credit independent research project is undertaken in the summer period.

Year 1 modules

+

Students must complete an additional 20 credits from optional modules in Civil Engineering or related disciplines (e.g., MSc Urbanism and Sustainable Environments, Computer Science) at Level 3 or above, subject to approval by the Course Director. A student may not retake a module that they have studied at Nottingham on a previous course.
