Course Summary

Civil engineers find creative ways to solve real-world problems, developing the physical infrastructure for society to exist: from bridges to houses, and from roads to hospitals and train stations. Our Master of Engineering (MEng) in Civil Engineering brings together undergraduate and Masters-level course content. You'll develop a comprehensive knowledge of civil engineering principles and theory, alongside analytical, practical and engineering skills and techniques. You’ll develop knowledge and skills in architectural and building technology, sustainability in the built environment, health and safety, computer-aided design (CAD), hydraulics, ground engineering, structural engineering, and strategic and operational management in civil engineering. Creativity and innovation in engineering is also a key focus, and you’ll gain a deeper understanding of engineering principles and practice. **Key features** **Professional progression** | Successful completion of this course represents the most direct route to Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, fully satisfying the educational base for the status. **Industry-standard facilities** | Experience hands-on learning in our specialist facilities and workshops including dedicated concrete, materials, hydraulics, geotechnical labs and structural testing equipment. **Placement year** | Gain vital skills and experience in the workplace by undertaking a one-year placement on our sandwich route. Previously, students have spent their placements at companies such as VolkerFitzpatrick, BAM Nuttall and Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd.
