Designing and building structures like bridges, roads, airports and flood defences demands a high degree of technical skill. Our Civil Engineering BEng course will teach you to approach projects competently, ethically and safely.
It’s a practical course where you’ll learn to carry out site investigations and land surveys, select materials, analyse and design infrastructure and engineering systems, and plan the construction process. There’s a strong focus on sustainability and understanding the environmental impact of your work. You’ll also become skilled at using computer-aided design and specialist software.
You’ll learn from expert tutors in specialist facilities, including labs for geotechnics, hydraulics, concrete testing and more.
Outside of the lab, there’s the chance to join lectures given by guest speakers and take an optional placement year in industry. You'll also take part in three week-long construction projects during your course.
This degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators, comprising the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Institution of Structural Engineers, Institute of Highway Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) and the Permanent Way Institution on behalf of the Engineering Council, for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
