In this course you will be taught by leading experts in their field and be provided with an excellent basis for a professional career in civil, structural, geotechnical & municipal engineering fields. The objectives of the Civil Engineering programme are: to provide students with a solid background in the design and analysis of civil engineering structures; to build engineering skills of critical importance when working in industry, including the ability to break a complex engineering problem into its component parts, to sketch/model engineering solutions and to be able to understand and prepare technical reports; to build awareness of current design practices through the use of the latest engineering standards (e.g. Eurocodes); to nurture computer modelling skills by encouraging students to develop their own software with the final purpose of analysing realistic civil engineering problems; and to build critical awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of different design approaches when facing a civil engineering problem, including aspects such as environmental constraints, economy or health and safety. The year in industry can be undertaken in the UK or overseas. The advantages of the placement year are extensive.
