Course Overview

Civil engineers find creative ways to solve real-world problems by developing the physical infrastructure society needs to exist – from bridges to houses, through to roads, hospitals, and train stations.

This course will provide you with a thorough understanding of all of the key engineering principles, focusing on combining high-quality technical ability with the people management skills that are so vitally needed within the industry.

You'll become an expert at looking at engineering with an advanced mathematical understanding, and learn about the importance of design, sustainability, health, and safety — everything you need to tackle the real-world challenges you'll face as a professional Civil Engineer.
