Develop practical and technical skills to design and build structures and infrastructure. Use integrated and creative solutions to engineer a sustainable future.

Our course is for inquisitive engineers who want to answer the difficult questions about the future of civil engineering. You'll want to push the boundaries of design and construction to generate new ideas and possibilities.

In your first two years, you’ll learn fundamental engineering skills in design and management. This includes a detailed understanding of mechanics, geotechnical and structural engineering theory and analysis. From the start, you’ll develop and use the ingenuity and communication skills that are essential in the challenging environment of civil engineering design. You’ll explore building aspects that affect the internal environment and energy use, learning to integrate structural and environmental engineering with architectural design.

Group work with architecture students will give you a taster of the professional team relationships you'll experience in your future career. This will help you to develop the imaginative approaches and people skills that are just as important in the wide range of civil engineering projects that don't involve architects. Working in interdisciplinary teams will teach you how to find creative and well-rounded solutions to civil engineering challenges.

Studying an MEng adds depth and breadth to your education with advanced taught units and substantial challenging design projects. It also meets the full educational requirements you need to become a Chartered Engineer. You have the flexibility to move between our civil and civil and architectural engineering courses, as well as decide whether you want to go on placement, up to the end of your second year.
