Civil Engineering

Civil engineers are vital to the design of our built environment. From bridges, tunnels and transport systems, to buildings, flood defences and water management, their performance is fundamental to modern society.

This degree gives you a strong grounding in the design and analysis of Civil Engineering structures. You will develop complex problem-solving skills, gain the ability to sketch and model engineering solutions and become comfortable preparing technical reports.

As you progress, your developing analytical abilities will combine with hands-on experience of state-of-the-art equipment, establishing skills which are vital to securing employment in the civil engineering industry.

In Year 1, you will typically study areas including: Introduction to Civil Engineering Materials, Engineering for People Hackathon, Introduction to Transportation Engineering.

In Year 2, you will typically study areas including: Geomechanics, AI, Machine Learning and Data Analysis, Civil Engineering Design Methods, Civil Engineering Management.

In Year 3, you will typically study areas including: Finite Elements for Civil Engineers, Civil Engineering Design Practice & Management, Hydrology and Unsteady Flow.

In Year 4, you will typically study areas including: Dynamics and Earthquake Analysis of Structures, Advanced Structural Design, Transportation Engineering.

Professionally accredited courses provide industry-wide recognition of the quality of your qualification.
