The Civil Engineering with Project Management course offers you a firm grounding across the breadth of civil engineering, with a focus on the unique project management challenges posed by major building and infrastructure development.
You’ll gain an understanding of the technologies and tools available to civil engineers and cover key topics in the Project Management Body of Knowledge. You’ll choose from optional modules to develop specialist knowledge in topics ranging from transport engineering to the design of structures in earthquake zones. But you’ll also gain an understanding of project management to prepare you for a wide range of careers.
All our degree courses allow you to undertake a placement year as part of your degree. If you don’t wish to extend your studies by a year, our unique, full-time Faculty Employability team will work with you to find vacation placements in engineering organisations so you don’t miss out on valuable industrial experience.
You can choose to take either the four-year Integrated Masters (MEng, BEng) or the three-year Bachelor’s (BEng) degree on this course.

You may choose to undertake the International option of this course, allowing you to spend the third year of your MEng at one of our partner universities overseas. You’ll study modules similar to those taught at Leeds, meaning your study abroad will be integrated into your degree and will not require you to take a year out. Find out more about our international and European options on our website.
Specialist facilities
The Faculty of Engineering is continually investing in world-class facilities, and you’ll have access to excellent lab facilities, design studio and computing equipment. We also have specialist lab space for structures, materials, public health engineering, building services and geotechnics.

Course programme

All degree courses within the School share a common first year of six compulsory modules. These expose you to the diversity within civil engineering and provide a firm basis on which to specialise in later years – as well as giving you the flexibility to switch between these courses.

In the first two years, you’ll gain an understanding of the materials and methods available to civil engineers in different contexts, as well as the basic principles of project management. You’ll build skills in structural design and analysis, learn about the properties of a wide range of materials and take part in project work to deepen your understanding. A choice of optional modules in Year 2 will allow you to develop your interests and decide what you might focus on in later years.

Year 3 involves a wider selection of optional modules, allowing you to gain specialist knowledge in fields such as building physics, railway and transport engineering. Core modules will also cover fundamental areas like foundation and water engineering, and you’ll explore techniques for managing time, cost and quality in projects and allow you to complete a substantial research project. Alternatively, if you take the MEng course you can choose to spend this year at one of our many partner institutions in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore or USA.

If you do take the MEng course you’ll continue your studies into Year 4, where you’ll contribute to the body of knowledge in a chosen field when you complete an independent research project. At the same time, you’ll deepen your knowledge of project management, and choose from masters-level optional modules on topics ranging from designing structures in earthquake zones to strategic management in construction.

Projects

Civil engineers work on projects that combine skills and knowledge to deliver a solution to a client, so we place a strong emphasis on project work throughout the degree. This gives you the opportunity to explore your subject further as well as developing valuable skills in problem solving, design, project management, communication and teamwork.

Engineering ethics

You’ll study engineering ethics as part of your course, with lectures and/or seminars in each year of your study. Visit our engineering ethics webpage to find out more.
