Civil Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Civil engineering integrates creativity with scientific and technological expertise to drive global change. Students learn to design and manage significant projects through team-based studies in key areas such as structures, geotechnics, materials, wind, fluids, transport, surveying, and construction management. The program includes site visits to observe real-world applications, access to advanced facilities like wind tunnels, earthquake simulators, design studios, and CAD tools. The MEng qualification serves as the preferred pathway to achieving Chartered Engineer status.In the first year, students explore core disciplines like structural mechanics, geotechnics, and hydraulics through group projects, including a residential surveying field course and skills workshops. Subsequent years deepen these subjects: year two focuses on advanced core topics and design projects; year three offers electives for specialization; and year four includes investigative projects and major group designs to prepare for professional careers.
