If you're not sure which area of civil engineering you want to go into, this broad-based course is a good choice. The first and second years introduce the core disciplines of structures, water, geotechnics and environmental issues. In the third year, you'll work as part of a team working on a realistic engineering design project.With an ethos of sustainability guiding every decision, this course emphasises both strong technical skills, and the importance of engineering for the good of society.Taught by research-active academics and teachers with extensive industrial experience, the Civil Engineering BEng at Sheffield is the right choice if you’re passionate about the subject, but not sure which direction your career will take.The course integrates a strong focus on civil engineering analysis and design with the latest research on sustainable development – equipping you to tackle challenges in the built environment and design innovative solutions that minimise impact on the environment.In the first two years, you will study the core subjects needed to be a successful civil engineer: structural engineering, materials, fluid mechanics, and geotechnics.Group projects will see you take on complex real-world problems – applying your engineering knowledge, while developing the transferable skills like communication, team working and project management, sought after by employers.You’ll have plenty of opportunities to apply your theoretical knowledge in project work – taking on civil engineering challenges, including climate-resilient infrastructure.During your final year, you’ll explore aspects of sustainable building and infrastructure design. In the final semester, this all comes together in your individual project – and in your integrated design project where you’ll work as part of a team to devise concepts for a sustainable urban regeneration project.By the time you graduate, you will have developed important skills and attributes so that you are well prepared for the next stage in your career.Why study this course?
