About this course

Develop practical and technical skills to design and engineer the built environment. Use integrated and creative solutions to engineer a sustainable future. Develop practical and technical skills to design and engineer the built environment.

Use integrated and creative solutions to engineer a sustainable future. Our course is for students who aren't afraid to ask and answer the difficult questions about the future of civil engineering. You’ll push the boundaries of design and construction to generate new ideas for our infrastructure and cities.

Your knowledge will enable you to integrate energy, sustainability and environmental design. In your first two years, you'll learn the foundations of materials, geotechnics, structures and digital design. You will develop the fundamental engineering design skills and attributes, including ingenuity and strong communication, that are essential for exploring aspects of infrastructure and the built environment.

Our courses draw on the strengths of a joint department with architecture, offering a different experience from most universities. Cross-disciplinary group work mirrors the professional relationships you could experience in your career, where you'll work with people with different expertise. This will help you develop the imaginative approaches and adaptability needed to tackle many civil engineering projects.
