Civil engineers are vital to the design of our built environment. From bridges, tunnels and transport systems, to buildings, flood defences and water management, their performance is fundamental to modern society. This degree gives you a strong grounding in the design and analysis of Civil Engineering structures. You will develop complex problem-solving skills, gain the ability to sketch and model engineering solutions and become comfortable preparing technical reports. As you progress, your developing analytical abilities will combine with hands-on experience of state-of-the-art equipment, establishing skills which are vital to securing employment in the civil engineering industry. Studying a modern degree with close connections to the rapidly evolving industry, you will learn about current design practices and the latest engineering standards. We will nurture your computer modelling skills by encouraging you to develop your own software to analyse real world civil engineering problems. You will benefit from working with advanced facilities including high grade laboratories for structures teaching and materials testing. Our fluids laboratory has a five metre experimental flume and a geomechanics laboratory. You can also use our sophisticated high speed cameras for strain analysis and 3D imaging.Civil Engineering graduates are set on course for a range of exciting employment opportunities including: Site Engineer, Structural Engineer, Town Planner, Building Services Engineer, Engineering Geologist, Environmental Consultant and Quantity Surveyor.
