Civil Engineering - BEng (Hons)

Civil engineers solve complex problems and are skilled at working in interdisciplinary teams to tackle society's challenges. Civil engineers shape our built environment. They enable taller skyscrapers, net zero buildings and more efficient transport networks in the busiest cities, or bring fresh water and reliable infrastructure to the remotest parts of the planet. Civil engineering involves: creatively applying your physics and mathematics knowledge to deliver unique solutions to complex problems selecting and using the appropriate engineering and computational tools to ensure safe and sustainable solutions using your advanced knowledge of civil engineering materials to select the correct solution for the required application United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals Based on our compulsory course material, this degree aligns with many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the top three being: SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities Programme aims This programme will train you to be a civil engineer for the future, giving you the knowledge and skills you need to shape and sustain our ever-changing world. We put a strong emphasis on engineering design, both individually and in groups, throughout this degree programme.
