From the delivery of energy systems and iconic structures to water storage and provision, civil engineers create the large-scale infrastructure that makes our daily lives possible. Our civil engineering degree is designed to create civil engineering graduates who can display professional judgement, skills and knowledge. You will leave this course equipped with the knowledge and understanding of classical core engineering principles and the ability to apply your skills creatively and responsibly to resolve real-world engineering problems. Our BEng Civil Engineering degree is influenced by government initiatives, the guidance of our industry partners and relevant professional bodies to ensure our teaching is at the forefront of this sector. Accredited by the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Institute of Highway Engineers on behalf of Engineering Council for the purposes of full meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.High performing students will be able to transfer to the MEng Civil Engineering course, our integrated masters course that will put you on the pathway to chartered status. Graduate prospects are very strong due to the international shortage of civil engineers. This demand for talent is expected to rise further, as economies across the globe recover, giving civil engineering students a great opportunity to build a rewarding and prosperous career. Due to a shortage of civil engineers, there has never been a better time to become a civil engineer and this course will provide you with all of the necessary skills and knowledge to help you progress your future career within the industry Undertaking a year-long placement will allow you to develop your CV and gain industry experience that you can build on once you graduate. We also provide employer visits at all stages of your course, allowing you to network and develop your own industry contacts.
