Do you want to tackle global problems like water or energy supply security and defence against flooding in a changing, highly populated world? You will understand how to apply core engineering principles to real world problem using simulations, models or experiments. You will be supported and inspired by research-active academic staff - many of whom have Chartered Engineer status and industry experience. You will gain a BEng highly sought by employers, making you the future of civil engineering. * Start your professional career from day one with a course accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) and The Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation. Our BEng (Hons) is accredited by our professional institutions on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). You'll qualify for membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and Institution of Structural Engineers. * 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 water management 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. * 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. * Increase your employability by taking an HSE-recognised diving qualification as part of your course, allowing you to work professionally in underwater technology. * Study core subjects include engineering surveying, geotechnics, hydraulics, management, materials, and structural analysis. * Join our extensive network of Chartered Civil Engineer graduates from Plymouth University and now work at all levels in the industry both nationally and internationally.

In the 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. 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, industry contacts and the possibility of summer work, sponsorship or a graduate job offer. 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 spend much of the year completing a research-based individual project. These projects typically involve laboratory, 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.
