Course Overview

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

Our Master of Engineering (MEng) in Civil Engineering brings together undergraduate and Masters-level course content and through it, you'll develop a comprehensive knowledge of civil engineering principles and theory, alongside analytical, practical, and engineering skills and techniques.

Course content will enhance your knowledge and skills in architectural and building technology, sustainability in the built environment, health and safety, computer-aided design (CAD), hydraulics, ground engineering, structural engineering, and operational management in civil engineering.
