What is the Course about?

Civil engineering deals with the built environment and encompasses much of what defines modern civilization. Civil engineering is responsible for the development of buildings, transport networks, water provision, i.e. all the essentials we depend on. Increasingly, the role of the civil engineer in
developing sustainable solutions to challenges presented by climate change is becoming more important.

Course Structure

This course provides a blend of academic and praticical training across all key civil engineering areas. The course features a strong practical element with students frequently working in our specialised materials, hydraulic and environmental laboratories and workshops.

A work placement module between Years 3 and 4 will provide students with the opportunity to enhance their learning in working on real-life design or construction projects as part of a professional engineering team.

Is this course for you?

You will likely enjoy hands-on involvement in practical projects. In aspiring to become a civil engineer, you will also likely be motivated to improve and protect the world around you, through planning, designing and building the facilities we use every day, from houses to factories to transport systems.
