Civil Engineering, MEng (Hons), with study abroad

Civil engineers are essential to society, designing critical infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, transport systems, buildings, flood defences, and water management. This degree equips students with a strong foundation in civil engineering design and analysis, fostering key skills like problem decomposition, modelling, and technical reporting. It incorporates modern standards like Eurocodes and develops computer modelling abilities for real-world applications, while addressing factors such as environmental impact, cost, and safety.Facilities include laboratories for structures, geomechanics, concrete, fluid mechanics, and bridge testing. Degrees are accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators, and our world-renowned research centre has contributed to projects like the NASA space shuttle. Options for a year in industry or abroad enhance employability, and we guarantee conditional offers subject to requirements.
