Civil engineers design, build and maintain the spaces and places that shape our day-to-day existence. They are involved in the construction and maintenance of buildings and structures, roads, railways, bridges, water supply and waste networks. This accredited course provides the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience you need to become a work-ready civil engineer. Through laboratory sessions, field trips, individual projects and design classes, you will embed the knowledge from your lectures and tutorials and develop your practical abilities in surveying and design. You will choose from a range of authentic, real-world engineering problems and industry-focused scenarios, to work on both individually and with student engineers from other disciplines. Group work mirrors the relationships of an engineering team and will help you to build professional skills, such as teamwork, project management and communication. Our open access makerspace provides a place for you to design, create and collaborate.
