Civil Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Civil engineers design, construct, and maintain essential infrastructure such as buildings, roads, railways, bridges, and water systems that underpin daily life. This accredited programme equips students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to become competent civil engineers. Through laboratory sessions, field trips, individual projects, and design classes, participants apply theoretical learning to real-world scenarios, enhancing abilities in surveying and design. Students engage with authentic engineering problems individually and in groups with peers from other disciplines, fostering professional skills like teamwork, project management, and communication in a collaborative makerspace.The programme stands out for its professional accreditation by key institutions, including the Institution of Civil Engineers, meeting academic requirements for Incorporated Engineer status and partially for Chartered Engineer. Content is shaped by industry collaboration and delivered by experienced academics, many of whom are Chartered Engineers. It emphasises hands-on design work in specialised facilities, offers flexibility to tailor studies or switch programmes after the first year, and includes interdisciplinary group projects to develop vital professional competencies.
