Overview

This degree covers the main disciplines of structures, geotechnics, plus both water and transportation engineering. The degree is designed to give students the knowledge and skills they need to become a Chartered Civil Engineer. The core curriculum concentrates on analysis and materials behaviour, covering the main disciplines. The later years specialise more on design and management. Throughout, there’s an emphasis on students' personal development within a professional environment. In year 1, students have the opportunity to visit a range of construction sites and experience guest lectures from professional engineers. In year 2, students have the opportunity to participate in Constructionarium, which provides hands-on construction working alongside professional engineers and tradesmen to construct scaled down versions of bridges, buildings, dams and civil engineering projects from all around the world. There is flexibility to transfer between Civil Engineering and Structural Engineering degrees in years 1, 2 and 3. In year 4, students undertake a week long collaborative design project working with students from across the built environment disciplines. Students who wish to pursue MEng Civil Engineering have the opportunity to apply to study at a partner institution abroad in North America or Europe. This course is accredited on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer by the the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) and Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE).
