The aims of this module are for the student to become familiar with and comprehend the wide range of research methods and skills needed to investigate, understand, communicate and execute a research project.

The aim of this module is for the student to understand and explore the principles around use of low carbon materials in construction and civil engineering and how this knowledge can be applied to the design, construction and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure.

The aim of this module is to introduce students to the theory and practice behind various modelling techniques used to provide solutions for some common applications in subsurface fluid flow and geotechnical engineering. Students will also be made aware of the capabilities, limitations and potential problems of the various models. A secondary aim of this module will be to develop the students' ability to solve 'real' engineering problems by numerical methods, and to also understand the limitations of numerical techniques.

The aim of this module is to provide an understanding of statistical and numerical methods, typically applied in civil engineering disciplines. It is designed to provide a conceptual and practical understanding of the mathematics and statistics that students will encounter in subsequent modules related to modelling and data analytics, as well as in their future careers.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with experience of the process and methodology of research by defining and studying (on an individual basis) a complex problem in a specialised area relating to their programme of study.
