Course Summary

"This accredited integrated master’s degree covers structural, geotechnical and hydraulic engineering. Over four years, you will develop professional engineering skills, with a focus on innovative and sustainable solutions to infrastructure problems. Civil engineers develop infrastructure and have a profound effect on the way people live through a consideration of function, aesthetics, economics and sustainability. City, University of London is committed to ensuring that its civil engineering graduates lead the way in technical expertise, strategic thinking, innovation and communication. Our approach is to encourage critical thinking and foster creativity through both teamwork and independent study. Students have access to world leading test facilities to undertake research projects and laboratory tests that support their learning. Individual and group engineering design projects demonstrate your expertise to future employers. Whilst a fourth year, at master’s level, helps you transition from study to professional practice. - Benefit from exceptional industry involvement in the degree programme, including projects set by industry and guest lectures from practising engineers - Study in world leading test facilities, including our flagship Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility, where you conduct research and test your theories - Get hands-on experience with concrete casting, soil testing equipment and centrifuges - Fast track your progress to Chartered Engineer status, with a degree that meets all academic requirements for professional registration."
