You will be introduced to the essentials – everything from structural analysis and design, materials, ground engineering, water supply and sanitation, to the digital built environment and its digitisation. You’ll also study relevant subjects such as maths, computer-aided drawing, and communication skills. You will be given an understanding of the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis and learn how civil engineers can play their part in addressing these global challenges.

A range of individual and group design exercises provide an opportunity for industrial feedback and this is supplemented by site visits. Our teaching staff offer projects based on their research expertise.

Students are encouraged and supported to gain relevant work experience to enhance their employability by applying for a summer internship or a year placement with an approved company/organisation.

Civil engineering graduates are in great demand and our programme aims to provide the educational base for graduates who demonstrate great skills in critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity.

This programme also has a year abroad option, an incredible opportunity to spend an academic year at one of our partner universities.
