Course Overview

Civil engineers create, improve and protect the infrastructure that supports everyday life. Gain the skills to successfully plan, manage and implement major engineering projects, and open up exciting career opportunities, with a civil engineering degree.

Designed around real-world problem solving, and delivered from our new £65 million engineering hub, our accredited BEng pathway builds your knowledge to an advanced level. Initially focusing on structures, surveying and project planning, you will progress to study water resources, geotechnics and seismic engineering.

With a focus on your future, you will also develop transferable skills and learn about the decision-making methods used by industry. You also have the option to include an industry placement year, where you can gain additional workplace skills and boost your employability once you graduate.

You will:

• Acquire the engineering skills to design simple structural steel, analyse statically indeterminate structures and design complex structures using reinforced concrete

• Identify and manage environmental issues and associated risks relating to civil engineering, including water, transport, landscape, heritage and biodiversity

• Build knowledge about materials and their fundamental behaviour, including geology, soil mechanics and laboratory testing

• Develop your knowledge of materials and their fundamental behaviour, from laboratory testing of soils, to 3D printing composite structures

• Gain practical experience using industry standard software, so you're ready to join the industry when you graduate
