Civil Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Civil engineers address major societal challenges by designing and constructing infrastructure for a growing urban population in a dynamic environment. The Civil Engineering BEng course emphasises practical design projects tied to real-world problems, fostering essential skills like teamwork, presentation, project management, and report writing. Graduates are equipped for careers in civil engineering or related fields, contributing to the planning, design, building, and maintenance of structures such as bridges, roads, and buildings worldwide. Taught by expert academics and industry speakers, the course offers a stimulating learning environment.The BEng degree meets the requirements for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status and partially for Chartered Engineer (CEng), which requires further study. Students may transfer to the MEng after year two, adding an advanced year with specialised modules and projects. Assessment includes exams, coursework, projects, and reports, with accreditation from bodies like the Institution of Civil Engineers.
