Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is essential to the sustainable future development of society, from planning and construction, to water supply and coastal defence.

You’ll develop the skills to design and build creative solutions to challenges in the built environment, infrastructure and cities, and the management and teamwork skills needed to succeed in industry.

In the first two years, you'll develop a solid grounding in the fundamental engineering science, as well as the basis of civil engineering. You'll be introduced to key design skills, such as sketching model-making and computing, through workshops and through design projects.

In your third year you'll explore highway and traffic engineering, and structural stability and geotechnics in more depth, and do an individual project.
