Course summary

Civil engineers find creative ways to solve real-world problems by developing the physical infrastructure society needs to exist – from bridges to houses, through to roads, hospitals and train stations. This course will provide you with a broad civil engineering education, focusing on the design, analysis and construction skills that are so vital for the industry. You'll be equipped with abilities to develop sustainable and cost-effective design ideas, learning about key civil engineering concepts such as structures, materials, geotechnics and mathematics. You'll become an expert in applying your understanding of practical engineering techniques to find innovative solutions to real-world built environment challenges. Through industry-facing projects, site visits and the opportunity to undertake a work placement year, this course will give you all the skills needed to begin a successful career in Civil Engineering. Key features

  • Industry-Standard Facilities | Experience hands-on learning in our specialist facilities and workshops, including dedicated concrete, materials, hydraulics, geotechnical labs and structural testing equipment.
  • Professional Status | Take the first step in gaining Incorporated Engineer status – this course is accredited to fully satisfy the educational base for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).

Entry requirements

Qualification requirements

A lower offer may be made based on a range of factors, including your background (such as where you live and the school or college you attended), your experiences and individual circumstances (you may have been in care, for example). This is called a contextual offer and we get data from UCAS to make these decisions. NTU offers a student experience like no other, and this approach helps us to find students who have the potential to succeed here, but may have faced barriers that can make it more difficult to access university. We also consider equivalent qualifications and combinations. Please contact Nottingham Trent University Admissions team for further information.
