Welcome Message
Welcome to your MSc in Civil Engineering / MSc in Structural Engineering programme. Regardless of your path to get here, you now face exciting challenges and opportunities over the next year! Make the most of your Welcome Week activities to understand your course, university policies, and support mechanisms.
Please participate in the social events planned which will help you to get to know your new classmates – you will be working closely with them very soon. As your MSc coordinator, I will be dealing with any issues that arise during your studies, providing support and being a point of contact for your feedback. You can contact me at j.clancy@swansea.ac.uk.
The coming weeks will be challenging, so don’t hesitate to seek help from academics, the Hwb student information service, library, and technical teams. We especially pride ourselves on the various support mechanisms available and we will be making you aware of these in time. We look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey to becoming a civil engineer.
