Course summary

Civil engineering combines your creativity with technological and scientific knowledge that can change the world. You will learn how to design and manage high-profile projects. You will study the key components of civil engineering theory and learn the skills necessary to become a civil engineer. By combining individual study and working together in teams you'll learn about:

  • structures
  • geotechnics
  • materials
  • wind
  • fluids
  • transport
  • surveying
  • construction management
Also as part of your course you will take part in site visits to see civil engineering in action. You will access research and laboratory facilities, including:
  • wind tunnels
  • earthquake simulators
  • design studios
  • CAD
As a civil engineering graduate, there are many options available to you. You can choose to register with the Engineering Council as an Incorporated Engineer or progress to Chartered Engineer status. Our courses give you the required engineering expertise for either a career in industry or in many other professions that value an analytical, creative mind.

Modules

In your first year, you will be introduced to the core disciplines and the context of civil engineering such as structural mechanics and strength; geotechnics and hydraulics within a group project based environment. There is also a residential surveying field course and the opportunity to attend skills workshops. In year two, your core subjects will be developed in greater depth and a major design-based project will help you see the application of your studies. In year three, core subjects continue alongside a range of elective modules allowing you to specialise as well as individual and group project work that integrates your learning over the three years.
