Course summary

Design a sustainable future. Get hands-on with real civil engineering projects, tackle climate challenges, and help create safer, greener, resilient cities. What is civil engineering? Civil engineering is about making life work. From the bridges you cross and roads you travel on to flood defences and future sustainable cities, civil engineers design, build, and protect the environments we rely on every day. If you want a career where you can see the impact of your work, solve real-world problems, and help protect the planet, civil engineering puts you right at the heart of it. Why study civil engineering at Leeds Beckett? Our BSc (Hons) Civil Engineering degree is a hands-on, industry-focused course designed to turn your ideas into practical engineering skills. You won’t just learn theory, you’ll design, test, analyse, and build, using the same tools, software, and techniques used by professional engineers. As part of this course, you’ll:

  • Tackle society’s global challenges – including climate change, sustainability, and resilient infrastructure
  • Build practical, hands-on engineering skills employers are actively looking for
  • Learn from industry experts in structural, water, geotechnical, and highways engineering
  • Work in specialist laboratories using industry-standard software and equipment
  • Gain industry experience through summer placements and an optional paid placement year
  • Start building your professional engineering profile from day one
You’ll graduate with the confidence, competence, and mindset to succeed as a graduate civil engineer. Find out more Accreditation that boosts your future This degree is fully accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) on behalf of the Engineering Council. This means it meets the educational requirements for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status. The JBM represents leading professional bodies including:
  • Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)
  • Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE)
  • Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE)
  • Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT)
  • Permanent Way Institution (PWI)
Accreditation gives your degree professional recognition and a clear route into engineering practice. Industry experience and placements We’ll support you in securing summer placements and an optional placement year in industry. This gives you opportunities to work on real engineering projects, build confidence in professional environments, and stand out to employers before you graduate. Professional guidance You’ll take part in development sessions led by industry professionals, helping you explore different civil engineering careers and discover where your strengths lie. We also maintain strong links with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), one of the world’s most respected engineering institutions, with more than 200 years of history. Through our relationship with the ICE, you’ll learn more about the work of civil engineers, why the profession matters, and the global opportunities a civil engineering career can offer.
