The Civil Engineering with Transport course gives you a firm grounding in civil engineering, with a deeper focus on areas of transport engineering, planning and modelling as you progress.
You’ll study all the major subjects you need to master as a civil engineer, such as structures, fluids, geotechnics, materials, environmental impact, surveying and mathematics.
At the same time, you’ll link these subject areas to solve challenging civil engineering problems, focusing on the design of transport infrastructure and planning for sustainability and resilience of the system. Optional modules will allow you to tailor the course to suit your interests and career plans, with topics such as railway engineering and environmental health engineering.
You’ll be taught by experts in their fields with extensive industrial experience in both the School of Civil Engineering and the Institute for Transport Studies, which is ranked 4th in the world for transport (ShanghaiRanking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2017). You could even spend time gaining valuable industrial experience through a placement year.
You can choose to take either the four-year Integrated Masters (MEng, BEng) or the three-year Bachelor’s (BEng) degree on this course.

Specialist facilities
You’ll have access to excellent lab facilities, design studio and computing equipment. We also have specialist lab space for structures, hydraulics, materials, public health engineering, building services and geotechnics.
Accreditation
This course is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators of The Institution of Structural Engineers, Institute of Highway Engineers, The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Institution of Civil Engineers under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council..
Accreditation is the assurance that a university course meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares its students

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 build skills in structural design and analysis as well as engineering mathematics and modelling techniques, and learn about the properties of a wide range of materials. You’ll also gain an understanding of architectural theory and history, as well as the materials and methods available to civil engineers in different contexts.

Core modules in Year 2 and 3 will help you to enhance and refine your skills in civil and transport engineering, as well as transport planning and modelling. In Year 3, you’ll benefit from a greater variety of optional modules, allowing you to choose topics such as railway or environmental engineering.

If you choose the MEng programme, you will have an even wider selection of specialist optional modules, which are taught at Masters level and allow you to focus on topics that suit your interests and career plans. The substantial final-year research project will allow you work on a specific area in depth under the guidance of your supervisor.

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.
