In this course you will be taught by leading experts in their field and be provided with an excellent basis for a professional career in civil, structural, geotechnical & municipal engineering fields. The objectives of the Civil Engineering programme are: to provide students with a solid background in the design and analysis of civil engineering structures; to build engineering skills of critical importance when working in industry, including the ability to break a complex engineering problem into its component parts, to sketch/model engineering solutions and to be able to understand and prepare technical reports; to build awareness of current design practices through the use of the latest engineering standards (e.g. Eurocodes); to nurture computer modelling skills by encouraging students to develop their own software with the final purpose of analysing realistic civil engineering problems; and to build critical awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of different design approaches when facing a civil engineering problem, including aspects such as environmental constraints, economy or health and safety. Students on a 5-year MEng degree scheme which includes a year abroad will also be able to study at a partner university after their second or third year, and before their final year.
