MEng (Hons) Civil Engineering
Why choose this course?
- The School has over 50 years' experience of teaching engineering and has established an excellent international reputation
- This degree allows you to benefit from the use of laboratory facilities and staff expertise at BRE (formerly Building Research Establishment)
- Students from the School of Engineering and Technology have previously completed work placement years at companies including: Jaguar Land Rover, Airbus Space and Defence, and Microsoft
- Recent Engineering graduates have gone on to work at organisations including: Dyson, Ministry of Defence and JCB.
From the world’s tallest buildings and most spectacular bridges, to airports, highways, hospitals, rail networks and flood defences, civil engineers provide the critical infrastructure that makes our world work. This course is designed to provide the educational base you need to become professionally recognised as a chartered engineer. As with the BEng, you will learn the principles of civil engineering and the latest industry developments, but the extra Master’s year will give you a much broader, more in-depth understanding of the subject. For this degree we have a strategic partnership with the world-renowned BRE to give you access to specialist facilities, projects and lectures.
Employment prospects for civil engineers are strong, both in the UK and overseas. The UK government recently announced major infrastructure projects worth around £460bn, while global construction is expected to grow by some 75% by 2025. Graduates can go on to careers in multinational consultancies, as well as smaller design and project management companies, utility companies and the public sector.
