Civil Engineering deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and built environment. Civil Engineers play an essential role in solving some of the most pressing problems facing humanity, including concerns about planning, transport, energy and the environment. A career in Civil Engineering allows graduates to make a real contribution to improving peoples everyday lives by planning, designing, constructing and managing large-scale building projects, from roads to skyscrapers, hospitals to wind farms and airports to sea ports.Civil engineers are at the forefront of meeting the challenges of climate change by developing sustainable materials and construction methods, improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions, and developing structures such as flood defences, greenpassive buildings, energy harvesting plants, etc. This means that the industry is fast-moving and evolving rapidly with the needs of society.This degree programme is delivered by a committed, highly qualified faculty with up to date industrial experience and a growing reputation for excellence in research, meaning you will be exposed to the very latest developments in the field.This programme offers a rich learning experience in state of the art facilities. As a civil engineer, your work will require a diverse skill set, so the course has been designed to ensure you have the cutting edge knowledge to tackle complex problems in areas such as structures, materials, geotechnics, water, management, traffic and environmental engineering.Modules are delivered in an exciting and challenging blend of tutorials, laboratories and lectures. Assessment is broad-based, employing reports, design projects, presentations, posters, interviews, exams, etc all aligned to real word examples and situations.Integral to the programme is an extended Industrial Placement, which offers invaluable ‘hands on’ experience in civil engineering companies, while research projects can be conducted alongside postgraduates and research active staffcompanies. Several have led to papers being published in journals and presented at international conferences.
