The programme covers the main civil engineering disciplines of Structures, Geotechnics, Water Engineering, and Highway Engineering, and provides students with the key skills and knowledge required to become chartered civil or structural engineers.

After graduation, students are equipped to work for engineering consultants, contractors or government at management level. The core curriculum includes instruction in all main subject areas, concentrating on analysis and materials behaviour, with increasing focus on design and management in the specialisation years. Throughout, there is an emphasis on the personal development of students within a professional environment.

• Indeterminate Structures
• Geology and Soil Properties
• Hydraulics and Hydrology B
• Geotechnics A - Intro to Soil
• Design of Concrete Elements
• Environmental Engineering A

Third Year

• Civil Engineering Dissertation
• Geotechnics B - Soil Strength
• Civil Engineering Design Project
• Foundation Engineering
• Industrial Training

Plus 3 optional courses related to structural design, structural engineering, transportation engineering, ground engineering and mangement.

MEng students undertake a compulsory industrial training placement.

Fourth Year
