Do you want to create sustainable solutions that make a genuine difference to lives and to our planet? Through this accredited, four year degree, you will gain the skills and knowledge needed to play a key role in design, creation and maintenance of the vital infrastructures that support lives in our increasingly populated and changing world. Guided by our experienced academic staff, you will apply mathematics and science to solve real world problems, from flood defences to structural design. * Start your professional career from day one with a course accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) and The Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation. As a student member, you’ll join a network of over 80,000 members worldwide, as well as having the opportunity to get involved in our active local branches. Our MEng (Hons) degree is accredited by the professional institutions as fully satisfying the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng). * Immerse yourself in the real world of civil engineering through site visits, field courses and visiting lectures from leading Chartered Civil Engineers working on major projects. * Benefit from our new £19 million Marine Building, which offers you opportunities to learn water engineering and coastal engineering. We offer major options in structural engineering and flood modelling to equip you to specialise in design and flood risk management. * Learn from our teaching staff of professionally qualified experts with relevant experience from the civil engineering industry and researchers with national and international reputations. 100 per cent of our students say our staff are good at explaining things [source: Unistats]. * Get ahead in your career by spending an optional placement year working as a paid student engineer, a great opportunity to further your knowledge and make important industry contacts. * Learn a host of design skills from problem solving to sustainable development, as well as developing the critical thinking that plays a key role in the work of a civil engineer, including interpreting and analysing data. * Develop your professional skills including communication, self-management, team working and leadership, all vital in pursuing a rewarding career. * Study core subjects including engineering surveying, geotechnics, hydraulics, management, materials, and structural analysis. * In the 2016 National Student Survey, 95 per cent of students said staff are enthusiastic about what they are teaching and 100 per cent of students said the course is intellectually stimulating.

In your first year, you’ll be introduced to the role of the professional civil engineer, understanding of the application of mathematics in engineering and the behaviour of civil engineering structures. Working in both laboratory and field, you’ll develop skills in surveying, computer aided design and the properties of engineering materials. We’ll begin your professional development through site visits, group-based design activity and visiting industry speakers. In year two explore the core disciplines of civil engineering, from structural analysis and design to hydraulic engineering through lectures, practical activities, site visits and a field course. We’ll introduce you to specialist areas of the industry, including coastal engineering and water engineering, with the opportunity to take an optional module to develop skills in sampling, survey, underwater photography and inspection techniques. By taking the opportunity to spend an optional year in a paid professional employment as a student civil engineer, you’ll gain real world experience and industry contacts which could lead to the possibility of summer work, sponsorship or a graduate job offer. In the final year you’ll deepen your understanding of the core technical subjects in civil engineering with a particular emphasis on designing solutions to infrastructure problems, culminating in an industry-focused group design project. You’ll complete a research-based individual project. These projects focus on laboratory experiments, computer-aided modelling, or field work linked to our staff’s research and professional interests. The modules shown for this course or programme are those being studied by current students, or expected new modules. Modules are subject to change depending on year of entry.
