Our integrated masters degree will give you the opportunity to specialise in sub-elements of civil engineering though a large number of optional modules aligned with our high-quality research. These include areas such as energy and buildings, coastal and maritime engineering and dynamic modules such as earthquake engineering and architectural acoustics. Major engineering contractors and consultancies often get involved the fourth year group design projects and 97% of our graduates are in a professional or managerial job after 6 months (DLHE, 2014). The first two years will provide you with core knowledge in mechanics, structures, materials, thermofluids and construction management. The third year introduces highway and traffic engineering and will further develop you knowledge of structures and geotechnics. You will have the opportunity to tailor your degree to your interests in your final year with your choice of specialist optional modules. Design is an integral to all our engineering courses, you will develop key design skills that you will use throughout the course. You will have the chance to carry out individual and group design projects to create real solutions.

Graduates from our MEng Civil Engineering course have gone on to careers including civil engineers, transport planners and construction managers. In recent years our graduates have been employed by ARUP, Atkins, Balfour Beatty, KIER, Laing O’Rourke, Mott MacDonald and WSP. Our dedicated Civil Engineering Employment Officer can provide guidance on your discipline, employment opportunities and developing your CV. The University Careers and Employability Service provides further support. 97% of graduates are employed in professional roles 6 months after graduation (DHLE, 2014). We work closely with employers across the engineering sectors to provide our students with opportunities to gain vital industrial experience through the SUCCESS Scholarship Scheme. We have close ties with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) who also offer expert guidance on employment opportunities, and many of our students are sponsored with employment following graduation.
