Civil Engineering, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

Civil engineering is crucial for sustainable societal development, encompassing planning, construction, water supply, and coastal defense. This program builds skills in designing innovative solutions for built environments, infrastructure, and cities, alongside essential management and teamwork capabilities for industry success. In the first two years, students establish a strong foundation in engineering science and civil engineering basics, including design skills through workshops and projects. The third year explores highway engineering, structural stability, geotechnics, and an individual project, while the final year focuses on advanced design, management, and a master's-level group project. An optional Industrial Placement Year provides full-time trainee experience.The curriculum includes modules such as engineering design, structural analysis, and soil mechanics across four years. Assessment combines written examinations, coursework, laboratory reports, essays, and presentations, with the placement year evaluated through a reflective report. The program is accredited by professional bodies like the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Structural Engineers, ensuring industry recognition.
