Course summary
Civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering fields and it impacts all aspects of our daily lives. Studying a Civil Engineering MEng(Hons) degree, you could be instrumental in the functioning of many of the structures we rely upon, including skyscrapers and bridges, railways and flood defences. From mega infrastructure to water transfer schemes, you can make a difference in a way that is important to you. Choose from a wide range of rewarding careers with significant earning potential, many of which will allow you to drive forward the increasingly important sustainability agenda within, for example, the construction, energy, transport, or the environmental sectors.

You’ll study the fundamental principles of statics, dynamics, materials, geotechnics, and hydraulics, with design, construction, business, and sustainability considerations. In your first and second year, you'll take part in our problem-based learning initiative, EnABLE (Engineering in an Activity Based Learning Environment). This allows you to work in small teams in a supportive and friendly competitive environment, solving real civil engineering problems and testing your solutions against other groups. Civil Engineering graduates often find themselves at the heart of technological developments within a wide range of engineering industries. This course will provide you with flexibility in your choice of engineering career pathways after graduation. From mega infrastructure to water transfer schemes, you’ll have the chance to make a difference in a way that is important to you. Within our civil engineering subject area, our degree programmes share the same first year of study, so you can leave your options open until the start of your second year.
