Civil Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Civil engineering is vital for sustainable societal development, encompassing planning, construction, water supply, and coastal defense. Students will gain skills to design innovative solutions for built environments, infrastructure, and cities, alongside essential management and teamwork abilities for industry success. The program begins with foundational engineering science and civil engineering principles in the first two years, introducing design skills through workshops and projects. In the third year, students explore highway and traffic engineering, structural stability, geotechnics, and complete an individual project. The final year focuses on advanced design, management, and teamwork, culminating in a master's-level group design project.Modules span topics such as engineering design, structural analysis, soil mechanics, and hydraulics across four years, with options for specialization. Assessment includes written examinations, coursework, laboratory reports, essays, and presentations, evaluating experimental, research, and design skills. The course is accredited by professional bodies like the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, and others, providing industry-wide recognition of qualification quality.
