Course summary
Civil engineers find creative ways to solve real-world problems by developing the physical infrastructure needed for society to exist – from bridges to houses, and from roads to hospitals and train stations. This course provides a broad civil engineering education and will give you the design, analysis and construction skills needed for the industry. You'll be equipped with the abilities to develop sustainable and cost-effective design ideas. Through industry-facing projects and site visits, this course will give you the skills needed to begin a successful career in Civil Engineering. You'll learn about structures, materials, geotechnics, mathematics and develop an applied understanding of practical engineering techniques to find innovative solutions to real-world built environment challenges. 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). Outstanding Employability | 97% of our BSc (Hons) Civil Engineering sandwich route graduates are in a 'High Skilled' role 15 months after finishing their degrees (latest Graduate Outcomes Survey 2019-20). Progression Opportunities | Tailor your studies to suit your strengths and interests, with opportunities to transfer on to the BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering course, from which you could progress to our MEng (Hons) Civil Engineering Design and Construction course.

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.
Unistats information
The student satisfaction data is from students surveyed during the Covid-19 pandemic. The number of student respondents and response rates can be important in interpreting the data – it is important to note your experience may be different from theirs. This data will be based on the subject area rather than the specific course. Read more about this data on the Discover Uni website.
