Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, MEng (Hons)

This integrated master's degree in civil and infrastructure engineering encompasses key areas such as structural, geotechnical, and hydraulic engineering, delivered through collaborative design projects. Over four years, students develop professional skills in sustainable solutions, including individual and group projects, while an optional industry placement enhances employability. The curriculum emphasizes innovation, social responsibility, and access to advanced facilities like the Geotechnical Centrifuge, alongside strong industry connections in central London.The program prepares graduates for roles with firms like AECOM and Arup, contributing to projects such as HS2 and major infrastructure. It meets academic requirements for Chartered Engineer status and includes modules on mechanics, design, and management, assessed through coursework, exams, and projects. With a focus on sustainability and resilience, this degree fast-tracks careers in a low-carbon future.

You’ll develop a strong technical background for civil and infrastructure engineering. The Engineer in Society is an innovative theme across each year. We introduce you to the economic, social and technical context where engineers work, and develop your social responsibility, knowledge, and topical engineering skills. Year 1 Our shared engineering first year allows you to build a foundation in mathematics, engineering, physics, fluid mechanics, material, electronics and programming. You will take diverse engineering design projects.
