Industry-led content

Our course content is informed by industrial collaboration and delivered by leading academic staff, many of whom are Chartered Engineers or have worked in industry.

Strong design element

Our courses have a strong design element with plenty of opportunities for hands-on practical work in our design studios, specialist laboratories, workshops, and computer suites. Those studying in the civil engineering discipline will have the chance to go on industrial field trips.

Professionally accredited course

Accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Institute of Highway Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Civil and environmental engineers design, build and maintain the spaces and places that shape our day-to-day existence with a focus on environmental issues, such as waste management, contaminated land, and water treatment.

This accredited course provides the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience you need to become a work-ready civil and environmental engineer Through laboratory sessions, field trips, individual projects and design classes, you will embed the knowledge from your lectures and tutorials and develop your practical abilities in surveying and design.

You will choose from a range of authentic, real-world engineering problems and industry-focused scenarios, to work on both individually and with student engineers from other disciplines. Group work mirrors the relationships of an engineering team and will help you to build professional skills, such as teamwork and communication. Our open access makerspace provides a place for you to design, create and collaborate.

The MEng allows you to expand and strengthen your knowledge in civil and environmental engineering. You will benefit from advanced learning in design and management and a multidisciplinary engineering design project.
