Overview
As a Civil Engineer, you can improve quality of life through the planning, design, construction and maintenance of our built environment and vital infrastructure (energy, transport, bridges, water supply and sanitation and the natural environment.)
MEng Civil Engineering can be studied with a placement year (over 5 years) or without (over 4 years). Completing a placement year successfully earns students an additional qualification (Diploma in Industrial Studies).
Suitably qualified students may enrol directly on the MEng course. Students on the BEng course may transfer to the MEng at the end of Year 2, subject to satisfactory performance at the MEng level.
The courses also offer sponsorship, extensive laboratory facilities, several field courses away from the university, including surveying, geotechnics, water engineering, and outdoor management, and gives you the opportunity to study at an overseas university either in Europe, the USA, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong or Australia for up to six months in your final year.

Course programme
What you'll study
This course is broadly based to cover the full range of subjects, allowing you to work in any sector of the industry. There is significant flexibility in the course allowing you to swap between courses and study various options. The theory is all covered using real life problems to illustrate the subjects being used.
The information below reflects the currently intended course structure and module details. Updates may be made on an annual basis and revised details will be published through Programme Specifications ahead of each academic year. Please see Terms and Conditions of Study for more information.

Year 1
Year one provides the building blocks for the understanding of Civil Engineering and for on going study at University. You will study a number of technical subjects to learn the basic principles of how materials, structures and fluids behave to enable you to use those properties in design later in the course. You will learn advanced mathematical skills to support these subjects. You will also study general study skills and subject specific skills such as surveying and basic principles of design.

Year 2
Year two of the course builds on year one to provide the main technical information to allow you to be able to evaluate and solve civil engineering problems. This year the subjects are more practically focussed towards working in construction. You will learn how to apply design codes to design problems. How construction contacts revolve around money and people in terms of law and health and safety. You will also continue with more technical subjects. Towards the end of the year you will undertake a two week field course to practice the surveying and geotechnical materials taught. At the end of year two students have the option to work in industry for a year and transfer between the MEng and BEng and vice-versa.

In year three of the MEng you will learn more advanced technical and management skills as well as have the opportunity to undertake a teamwork and leadership field course. The subjects this year broaden and deepen the base knowledge from years 1 and 2 to integrate your knowledge to solve real engineering problems, often working in teams. In year three there is an opportunity to choose some options in subject areas of specific interest.

Final year
The final year of the MEng course features more broadening and deepening of your technical understanding in applied advanced technical subjects. It also features a large individual research project working one to one with a specific member of staff. Again there are various options available to give your degree a specific flavour. Their is an option to study abroad in the final Semester of the final year of the course.
