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 broad civil engineering education, focusing on the design, analysis, and construction skills that are so vital for the industry. You'll be equipped with abilities to develop sustainable and cost-effective design ideas, learning about key civil engineering concepts such as structures, materials, geotechnics, and mathematics.

You'll become an expert in applying your understanding of practical engineering techniques to find innovative solutions to real-world built environment challenges. Through industry-facing projects, site visits, and the opportunity to undertake a work placement year, this course will give you all the skills needed to begin a successful career in Civil Engineering.
