Civil and Infrastructure Engineering

About

Course overview Civil and Infrastructure Engineering BEng (Hons)

This course covers structures, geotechnics, hydraulics, and sustainability applied to civil and infrastructure engineering. Over three years, you will develop professional engineering skills, with a focus on innovative and sustainable solutions to infrastructure problems. Individual and group engineering design projects demonstrate your expertise to future employers.

Benefit from exceptional industry involvement in the degree programme, including projects set by industry and guest lectures from practising engineers
Access world leading laboratories, including our flagship Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility, where you conduct research and test your theories
Get hands-on experience with concrete, soil and other materials testing equipment
Take an optional placement year or placement over two summer periods to boost your employability. Recent placements have included Balfour Beatty, AECOM, Arup, Interserve and Network Rail
Enjoy easy access to leading civil and structural engineering contractors and consultants thanks to our central London location
Fast track your progress to Chartered Engineer status, with a degree that meets all academic requirements for professional registration.

Accreditation

Our current Civil Engineering degrees are accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, Institute of Highway Engineers and The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation) providing a path for you to gain Chartered Engineering status. We have every expectation that these degrees will similarly receive full accreditation.

This course provides students with academic knowledge and skills in the key subjects of structural, geotechnical, hydraulic engineering for the design of resilient and sustainable civil and infrastructure facilities with particular emphasis on digital and data-driven collaborative engineering design for a low-carbon future.

Youâ€™ll develop a strong technical background for civil and infrastructure engineering.

Entry Requirements

Thanawaya (Certificate of General Secondary Education) - students must successfully complete a recognised foundation course.

Career

Civil engineers plan, design and construct the infrastructure around us, working on projects such as buildings, motorways, railways, bridges, coastal protection, energy infrastructure. City graduates work on some of the most important projects, including the HS2 rail project and the development of London landmark buildings.

Recent graduates have secured work with AECOM, Atkins, Building Design Consultants, London Bridge Associates, Mott MacDonald, Arup and Ramboll or contracting engineering practices such as Balfour Beatty Engineering, Jacobs Engineering and Skanska. Graduates also join companies overseas.
