**Course overview**: This degree includes an integrated foundation year if you don’t have the appropriate subjects and/or grades for year one entry. The foundation year helps you develop your knowledge in mathematics and other important subjects to enable you to proceed confidently through the remainder of the programme. Civil engineering is a professional discipline that deals with designing, constructing and maintaining the physical and naturally built environment. Civil engineers build bridges, tunnels, canals, dams and flood protection measures, tall buildings and other large structures.
The next few decades promise to be among the most challenging for the civil engineering community. Progressive urbanisation, increasing populations, on-going economic development, climate change and the persistent risk of extreme events already present many threats to infrastructure. By joining Teesside University’s degree in civil engineering you will gain advanced knowledge and understanding in specialist technical subjects. The course incorporates key aspects of civil engineering such as structures, geotechnics, fluid mechanics, materials and construction management. You gain valuable leadership and organisational skills which can enhance your career prospects in a management role. Skilled engineers are highly sought.
**After the course**: Typical roles include construction project management, building/civil engineering for contractors or consultants, architectural practices, local authorities or government agencies. Our recent graduates have been employed by Arup, Birse Civils, Jacobs, WSP Group, Interserve, Atkins Global and Aker Solutions.
