    About

    Course overview

    This course aims to combine the development of technical, practical and managerial skills necessary to analyse, design and manage solutions for innovative and complex engineering problems, as a basis for future leadership in the civil engineering profession.

    • You will have opportunities to draw on real-life case studies provided by companies such as Arcadis, CGL, Crossrail and Galliford Try.
    • You will have access to industry-standard software, widely used by design and consulting engineers4.
    • We will work with you to secure opportunities to apply for industrial placements2 at companies which have previously included: Atkins, Balfour Beatty, Interserve, Morgan Sindall, Mott MacDonald, Severn Trent Water and Warwickshire County Council.

    Why you should study this course

    • Practical activities and application of knowledge through project-led learning in design project modules.
    • Exercises in the Simulation Centre4 (a full-scale simulated construction environment) to experience real challenges of construction management in a controlled environment, and to develop your professional and leadership skills.
    • A mandatory international field trip (at no extra cost to you) aims to enhance your global awareness and experiences in your final year2.
    • Several optional modules allow you to tailor your course to your specific interests. You can select from 'Computational Methods in Civil Engineering', 'Engineering Hydrology', 'Transport Infrastructure', 'Strategic Construction Project Management' and 'Structural Design'.
    • Work alongside students from other construction and environment-related subjects such as surveying, architectural technology and geography, to widen your knowledge and exposure to other subject areas and professions.

    Career

    Careers and opportunities

    Graduates from these courses should be well-suited to working in a range of civil engineering consultancies, contractors or client organisations and they will have a sound base to ultimately become Chartered Civil Engineers.

    The aims of the BEng course are that graduates will have the ability to:

    • work collaboratively with other construction disciplines in the development of engineering solutions through critical evaluation and reflection, and effectively communicate proposals using a variety of media to suit different audiences
    • demonstrate awareness of the conflicting demands of clients, stakeholders and other construction professionals in the planning and execution of appropriate inter-disciplinary design solutions
    • recognise and respond to social, environmental, economic, security and ethical considerations in an international context
    • undertake interdisciplinary teamwork in a respectful and inclusive manner and effective self-management and development
    • conduct independent thinking, critical reflection, and individual initiative as the basis for research, innovation and lifelong professional learning to enhance their skills and knowledge throughout their careers
    • identify, analyse and solve engineering problems and apply their knowledge, technical and practical skills creatively and effectively, as required for a successful career as a Chartered Civil Engineer.

    Additionally, the aims for the MEng course are that graduates will have the ability to:

    • adopt key roles within multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural civil engineering design or construction teams, contributing leadership, analytical, creative, innovative and original thought and discipline specific (e.g. structures, highways, geotechnics) expertise
    • demonstrate a holistic understanding of the physical and social environment globally and how civil engineers can contribute to sustainable development and quality of life
    • critically evaluate the performance of others, assist them to develop and support their work, in addition to taking full responsibility for their own personal and professional development.
