Taught by research-active academics and teachers with extensive industrial experience, this course will deepen your knowledge in advanced civil engineering topics.
The course integrates a strong focus on civil engineering analysis and design with the latest research on sustainable development – equipping you to tackle challenges in the built environment and design innovative solutions that minimise impact on the environment.
Years one and two see you develop a sound understanding of core principles: structural engineering, materials, fluid mechanics, and geotechnics.
Group projects will challenge you to take on complex real-world problems – applying your engineering knowledge to create sustainable solutions, while developing transferable skills sought by employers like communication, team work and project management.
The second half of the course prepares you for your career, extending your design experience and allowing you to specialise in those advanced topics you’re passionate about. You’ll also develop and carry out your own research project with one of our academic staff.
In your fourth year, you will have the opportunity to do an industrial placement year where you can test your knowledge and further develop your technical skills in a real-life industrial environment.
You can unleash your ingenuity and creativity on a grand scale by designing conceptual solutions for a low-environmental impact urban regeneration project, and then engineering one aspect of the project in greater detail.
The course challenges you to solve increasingly complex problems – so that you'll graduate as a skilled, competent and well-rounded engineer, ready to make a contribution to a more sustainable world.
