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. 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
The Civil Engineering MEng programme is the preferred route to achieving Chartered Engineer status.

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 across a number of civil engineering disciplines. In year four, further elective modules are offered with an individual investigative project and a major group design project, which will prepare you for a career in civil engineering.
