About this course

Roads, canals, bridges, dams and buildings. None of them would exist, or function, without civil engineers. Civil engineers don’t just build roads, they contribute much of the built environment we see around us, including planning and developing railway networks and even helping to protect our coastlines by designing sea walls and harbours.

Our Civil Engineering BEng(Hons) course will develop the skills you need to become a highly skilled civil engineer. You’ll work in interdisciplinary project teams on industry-based scenarios, from design briefs to real-world case studies. You’ll learn with staff active in research and consultancy.

Our Industrial Advisory Board share their expertise with you and offer invaluable advice and networking opportunities. Our Civil Engineering MEng degree offers an extra year of study at masters level.
