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.

About this course
When you graduate, you are very likely to find employment in the core contracting and consulting arms of the civil and transport industry, which combined is worth over £85bn in the UK alone. However, the technical, communication and management skills you will develop during your civil engineering and project management studies are also in particular demand, for example in international finance, investment banking and large project management.
A-level: AAA including Mathematics.
Where an A-Level Science subject is taken, we require a pass in the practical science element, alongside the achievement of the A-Level at the stated grade.
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. An accredited civil engineering course must meet the quality standards set by the JBM.

Course programme
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.
