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
- wind tunnels
- earthquake simulators
- design studios
- CAD
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. 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. At the end of year two you will undertake a paid year in industry supported by our dedicated industrial placements team and underpinned by frequent visits by your tutor. In your final year, core subjects continue alongside a range of elective modules and you’ll complete a group design project and an individual investigative project on a topic related to your particular interests.
