Our Research
Civil and Construction Engineering 3rd in UK for research power and in top quarter for world leading research.
Research Excellence Framework 2014
The course provides an advanced knowledge and understanding of:
soils and rocks and their engineering properties
site investigation, testing, interpretation and reporting
construction practice and awareness of safe operation
key aspects of geotechnical design, such as foundations and slopes
application of mathematical methods and computational tools
Once you have graduated will be able to:
identify, generate and interpret data relevant to an engineering scenario
employ numerical methods for modelling and analysing problems
select and apply ideas, concepts and data to generate innovative designs
evaluate the quality of data through testing and measurement equipment in field and lab
present and summarise data and critically appraise its significance, using numerical techniques
