Civil engineering is essential for sustainable provision of the infrastructure used in our daily lives, from homes and industrial buildings to roads and water systems. This programme brings together the latest scientific developments in a range of civil engineering and allied environmental engineering disciplines to provide you with a thorough grounding in the subject together with a substantial project that can be used to develop a specialisation. Internationally leading research projects support this course with particular strengths including nonlinear structural mechanics, transient hydro-thermo-mechanical finite element modelling of unsaturated soils, optimisation of water distribution system, environmental processes and advanced methods for urban flood management. The programme brings together our expertise in civil engineering and water management to prepare you for a career in the civil engineering industry or for progression to a PhD for those interested in pursuing a research pathway.

A degree in Engineering from Exeter opens many career doors. You will develop a wide range of highly employable skills such as project management, time management, IT and communication alongside specific engineering knowledge. Many leading employers actively target our engineering graduates. Most choose to enter a technical career in industry after their degree, however some prefer to use their skills in more generalist areas such as finance or general management. In addition to the College's Employability Officer, Career Zone gives access to a wealth of business contacts, support and training as well as the opportunity to meet potential employers at our regular Careers Fairs.
