MEng Civil Engineering (Enterprise)
About
Civil Engineering (Enterprise) offers you the chance to gain a valuable Master of Engineering qualification.
During the first two years, the course is broad-based and you will study topics such as structural analysis, hydraulics, geotechnics, construction materials, engineering design, project management and mathematics.
In later years, you have considerable flexibility to steer your degree towards your interests by taking optional subjects such as renewable energy systems, fire engineering, earthquake engineering and computational hydraulics.
In Year 3, you will undertake an individual research project on an emerging topic in civil engineering, and, in Year 4, you undertake an industry-supervised group design project.
In every year of this programme there are units delivered by the Manchester Business School, so alongside your sound engineering background you develop a grounding in business, finance and entrepreneurship. This degree will equip you to enter the civil engineering professions and fully satisfies the educational base for becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Career
Career opportunities
The course stood out to me, as it was similar to architecture but more technical.
The idea of being able to use my skills to help improve the lives of others, while also advocating for sustainability in the process, caught my eye as civil engineering impacts them on such a large scale.
