Civil Engineering

Course description

Civil engineers design, build and operate the physical infrastructure that we often take for granted; from bridges and buildings to water treatment and waste management systems.

Civil engineering involves:

* creatively applying your physics and mathematics knowledge to deliver unique solutions to complex problems

* selecting and using the appropriate engineering and computational tools to ensure safe and sustainable solutions

This programme will train you to be a civil engineer for the future, giving you the knowledge and skills you need to shape and sustain our ever-changing world.

You will have the opportunity to specialise in many technical streams including:

* structural engineering

* environmental engineering

* construction management

* geotechnical engineering

* fire safety engineering

We put a strong emphasis on engineering design throughout this degree programme.
