A challenge worth taking

We expect a lot from our students. Our entry requirements are three As at A Level or equivalent, including maths and a science subject. We'll keep you busy with a lively mix of lectures, tutorials, laboratory and design classes. We'll challenge you to solve complex problems with creativity and business acumen. In return, you can expect to be part of a close-knit and vibrant community of experts – developing all the skills and commercial awareness you need to become a professional engineer. And you can expect to be in demand – our graduates have successful careers in countries all over the world.

The essentials

All our courses give you a strong grounding in the main areas of civil engineering: structures, water, geotechnics and environmental issues. We'll also teach you how to think about problems from a sustainable point of view, to inspire and prepare you for the complex environmental and social challenges of this century.

Your choice

We offer a comprehensive range of courses – including combinations with architecture, mechanical engineering or a modern language. Each has been designed to cover a particular specialism.

Led by design

We're renowned for our teaching of design. In your third year, we'll challenge you to tackle a real-world problem in a semester-long design project. Working with other students and industry representatives, you'll find imaginative and innovative solutions to the types of social, ethical and environmental problems faced by professionals.

Industry focus

We're proud of our strong links with industry. The experience and expertise of leading consultants, contractors and specialist engineers feed directly into your degree. As well as your own personal tutor, you'll be assigned an industrial tutor, a working professional who meets with you to offer insight and encouragement.

Our partner companies contribute to teaching through lectures, design classes, projects and site visits. They help us develop our courses, so what we teach is always relevant. We'll also teach you how to use industry-standard software and work on projects as you would in industry.
