Civil and Structural Engineering - MEng (Hons)

University of Liverpool

Whether you are interested in designing roads, airports, bridges, stadia, hospitals, power stations, harbours or water supply systems, a degree in Civil Engineering will teach you the latest construction technologies and design methods. There has never been a greater need for well qualified Civil Engineers: towns and coasts in need of flood defences; people and freight in need of safe and efficient transport systems; ever more urgent challenges in environmental conservation, sustainable design and infrastructure maintenance. We are committed to developing the modern professional engineers for the future by ensuring your learning environment reflects your future working environment.Our emphasis is on active learning, supported by traditional lectures and tutorials, as well as the opportunities to be involved in research-led teaching, conducted in collaboration with industry, government, research laboratories and academics around the world.The programme gives you the opportunity to undertake an individual research project in year three. Teaching staff offer projects based on their research expertise.In years three and four, you can choose options modules based on particular areas of specialisation of the staff.In year four, you will undertake a multidisciplinary group design project that brings together students specialising in various aspects of civil engineering, to work as a team to produce a portfolio. Students on the Civil and Structural Engineering programme will be acting as structural engineers for the project. Recent projects have included a ferry terminal scheme and an Olympic-size swimming pool.
