Special Features

  • Staff teaching on the course carry out much of their research with collaborators outside the University, including major oil companies, manufacturers of construction materials, and government and development agencies. This means that links between the Civil Engineering staff and industry are very strong.
  • Learning to work as part of a team is an essential objective of the MEng course. All MEng students take part in a Major Group Project, not only designing, but also making an artefact. The project focuses on their development of management skills, alongside the application of technical knowledge. There is the opportunity to exhibit projects at the graduate showcase, known as has around 170 undergraduate students, 11 researchers and 9 academic teaching staff. Each year we take in about 70 new students.
  • The next few decades promise to be amongst the most challenging ever for the civil engineering community. Increasing populations, progressive urbanisation and ongoing economic development, not to mention climate change and the persistent risk of extreme events, alr
