National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) is one of the top universities in Pakistan. It provide all type of courses and is accredited by the HEC Pakistan .It is ranked among top 150 universities in the world and is ranked in top 5 universities in Pakistan . It provides undergraduate, masters and PhD programs where as all are related to the science field such as civil engineering. Getting admitted to this university is always a dream of every student in Pakistan as the entry requirements are very high for about at least 90% for undergraduate courses. I would like to apply for this university for the course of masters in structural engineering.

Entry Requirements

In addition to the eligibility criteria as prescribed by NUST for its MS programs, a candidate must possess a bachelor of engineering degree in civil/ construction management/architectural engineering from a PEC/HEC/PCATP recognized institution of Pakistan or abroad.

Its degree is attested by all the countries and have many facilities for the students such as 150 different laboratories, student activity rooms etc. Students graduated from this university have a high chance of getting a job in the selected field in a very short time. It have relation with the government companies and have place about 30% of the graduated students in it.

The MSc in Structural Engineering (StrE) is increasingly establishing its reputation as the leading engineering qualification required for advancement in the profession.

Structural Engineering and Structural Materials are considered to be continuously developing subjects. As a result, postgraduate qualifications in Structural Engineering retain their importance for equipping professional engineers with the advanced knowledge and skills required to effectively analyse and design today’s sophisticated buildings and structures.

Entry Requirements

A relevant Bachelors degree equivalent to an Upper Second Class honours or with a good GPA (3 or above) from a university that is accredited by Ministry of Education - Higher Education Affairs in the United Arab Emirates.

English Language Proficiency: All applicants whose first language is not English are required to submit original evidence of his/her English language proficiency. This evidence should consist of a score of at least EmSat English 1400/6.0 IELTS/TOEFL 550*/TOEFL iBT 79-80*, or its equivalent in City & Guilds, Pearson, or Cambridge.

It is also said that each applicant has to submit an official transcript of any degrees earned and of any other credit earned from a higher education institution. It can be a copy formally certified by the applicant’s institution rather than the original degree certificate. If appropriate, a certified translation of the degree into English has to be supplied with the application. If the applicant is still studying or is awaiting results, admission is not formally confirmed until acceptable evidence of the awarding of his/her degree has been supplied.

This university ranks 34th in the world and is in top 5 universities in UK. This university provide the structural course as a MSc in Structural Engineering which comprises eight taught course units each of 15 credits and a research dissertation worth of 60 credits. The taught units provide an introduction to experimental work and research methods and cover advanced aspects of theory and design principles relevant to the static and dynamic behaviour of structures, steel and concrete structures and finite element modelling. A particular highlight of the taught component of the course is studying the behaviour and design of structures against extreme loading including fire and earthquake, which is taught by internationally leading researchers and engineers.  As a large multi-disciplinary engineering school, MACE has academic staff who are experts in a broad range of research areas and have a wide spread of professional experience in industry.

Entry Requirements

The standard academic entry requirement for this Master's course is a minimum Upper Second Class UK Honours degree or international equivalent in a relevant science or engineering discipline.

Teaching & Learning

Its traditional lecture and tutorial-based teaching is supported by well-equipped laboratories for demonstrations and for experimental work and all taught units are also supported within a modern e-learning environment.  Dissertation research provides students with training in research by investigating a novel and a complex problem under the personal supervision of a MACE academic experienced in supervision for higher research degrees. Their teaching and learning philosophy is to teach students about the advanced techniques and support them to apply their knowledge to solve problems both in a research context and in industry when they graduate from The University of Manchester.

Career opportunities

All the students have a demand to work in many countries around the world as well as in the UK, in all sectors of the construction industry. Their past students are working all over the world in some of the best multinational companies including Mott Macdonald, EDF, BP and many others.

Accrediting organisations

The programme is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) as an Approved Further Learning Scheme meaning that that the qualification can be used to support an application to become a professional Charted Engineer.

According to my perspective I would like to go for further studies as it will provide me the information and will help me to specialize in a certain subject in which I am interested. Civil engineering is such a job in which experience on site is most important. I have found some universities for the admission in Master’s Degree specializing as a structural engineer.

The demand of structural engineers nowadays is increasing very rapidly as it is one of the most important field in the construction industry. I want myself to be one of the famous structural engineers in the world especially with good knowledge and best site experience. The structural engineers are the one of the problem solvers in design teams. I know that structural engineering is not an easy course, but it rewards hard work. It is widely respected by other construction professionals for the skills, which are a vital part of unlocking the potential of a project, overcoming its challenges, and most of all, ensuring that it is safe.
