Course summary
Civil engineers find creative ways to solve real-world problem by developing the physical infrastructure needed for society to exist – from bridges to houses, and from roads to hospitals and train stations. This course will develop your understanding of engineering principles, together with the ability to apply them to solve real-world practical problems. You'll develop high-quality technical abilities alongside key people management skills. Through hands-on study you'll develop an advanced mathematical understanding, which combined with theory, practical projects and work placement opportunities, will develop your skill set and professional networks. You'll gain an understanding of design, sustainability, health and safety and be ready to take on all of the challenges you'll face as a professional Civil Engineer. Key Features

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.
