Undergraduate degrees
Undergraduate degrees
Civil engineering is one of the most diverse professions available. As a civil engineer, you’ll become involved in a wide range of activities, including planning, designing, constructing, maintaining, improving and managing the physical environment around us. You may help design transport systems, undertake the treatment and restoration of contaminated sites, enhance the energy efficiency of buildings, or design and construct iconic structures.
All degree courses within the School share a common first year of six compulsory modules. These expose you to the range of programmes offered within the School and provide a firm basis on which to specialise in later years – as well as giving you the flexibility to switch between these courses.
Industry-relevant courses
Our Industrial Advisory Committee and our academic partnership with the Institution of Civil Engineers ensure our courses are up-to-date with the modern practices and techniques that will enable you to succeed in industry upon graduation.
Our courses are accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators, which provides a route to Chartered Engineer status in the UK. Our Architecture course is also prescribed to Part 1 by the Architects Registration Board and has been awarded Candidate Course Status for Validation to Part 1 by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
