Course summary

If you would like to spend the third year of your degree studying Civil Engineering in another country, either in English or in a foreign language, then the Civil Engineering with International Study MEng will be an excellent choice for you.

This course is designed to give you as many opportunities as possible to tackle problems by applying taught materials in design exercises. These interdisciplinary design projects thread through our degree programmes, increasing in complexity as the course continues. You’ll work alongside Mechanical and Electrical Engineers to develop designs for technologies with impact in the world.

You will apply to your chosen overseas university during your second year at Birmingham. Your personal tutor and degree programme manager will help you to select appropriate modules, to ensure that you cover material similar to the Birmingham course.

If you have a good grasp of maths and design and love to solve problems creatively, then this civil engineering degree will be an excellent choice for you. During this degree, you will be actively involved in developing the specific design and professional skills required by civil engineers and will tackle numerous design problems to develop your analytical, technical and decision-making abilities.
