Overview

In Singapore’s urban landscape, structural engineering plays a vital role in sustaining economic growth and quality of life. 

As infrastructure and building projects continue to evolve, engineers need to keep pace with the latest knowledge, practices, and innovations in areas such as steel and composite, reinforced and prestressed concrete structural design.

The SIT Graduate Certificate in Structural Engineering (GCert StrEng) equips engineers with specialised technical and practical skills to tackle complex structural engineering challenges with innovative and sustainable solutions. 

Each module, worth 6 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits, can be taken individually or stack towards a GCert StrEng and progress toward earning a Master of Science in Civil Engineering.

Modules Available

Modules are stackable towards a GCert StrEng. They can also be taken individually.

Prerequisites
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Civil Engineering Degree awarded by University of Glasgow

Core Modules

You are required to complete the following two Core Modules.

CodeModuleCredits
CVE6002 Design of Steel and Composite Structures6
CVE6005Design of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures*6

Elective Modules

You are required to complete one Elective Module.

Certificate and Assessment

A Certificate of Attainment for each module will be issued to candidates who

  • Attend at least 75% of each module, and
  • Undertake and pass credit-bearing assessment during the module
  • Participants will be awarded a GCert StrEng if they complete two core modules and one elective module (totalling 18 credits) with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.0
  • The GCert is stackable towards SIT’s Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSc CVE), and participants who attain a CGPA of 2.5 or above may apply for transfer to the MSc CVE programme

Participants who meet the attendance requirement but do not pass the assessment will receive a Certificate of Participation.
