Why study this course
Professional skills
Group projects with engineering students from other disciplines mirror the dynamic of a professional engineering team and will help you to develop vital skills.
Flexible course
You can make your degree your own with the flexibility to choose where you want to focus your studies later in the course. If you change your mind about your programme, in most cases you may request a switch at the end of the first year.
Professional placement
Gain valuable experience working in a paid role at an organisation in the UK or abroad for one academic year. Our students have worked at leading engineering organisations as well as businesses in other sectors.
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 engineers design, build and maintain the spaces and places that shape our day-to-day existence. They are involved in the construction and maintenance of buildings, roads, railways, bridges, water supply and waste networks.
This accredited course provides the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience you need to become a work-ready civil 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.
You will have the opportunity to complete a paid placement working in a location of your choosing, including outside of the UK. This is a great way to experience a professional working environment and put the skills you have learned into practice. In the past, our students have completed placements in Arup, WSP and Mott MacDonald. The MEng allows you to expand and strengthen your knowledge in civil engineering. You will benefit from advanced learning in design and management and a multidisciplinary engineering design project.
