Within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering we pride ourselves on the excellent standard of our teaching and research, as we bring together outstanding staff, exceptional students and cutting-edge facilities. Taught by research-active academics in collaboration with industry professionals, our graduates are highly rated when they enter the workplace. You will gain a sound understanding of mathematical, analytical and practical engineering techniques – giving you the foundation for developing safe, sustainable and cost-effective design ideas – along with the management skills needed to bring projects into reality. You will critically review, consolidate and extend your knowledge within the area of civil engineering. You will also develop specialised skills, evaluate new concepts, and apply your diagnostic and creative skills. You will study in exceptional facilities which include purpose-built soil mechanics and geology laboratories, excellent materials and structural testing facilities, up-to-date computing suites and award-winning environmental health laboratories. We find that the work record established during Professional Training placements gives our students a decided advantage when employers are making offers. Recent graduates are working for a wide range of companies, including major consultancies and contractors such as Costain, Atkins, WSP, Skanska, Balfour Beatty and Mott MacDonald. As our graduates are highly numerate, literate, computer literate, organised, confident, business minded and commercially aware, they are also very attractive recruits for companies operating in many other professions including management, banking, and accountancy and software development. A degree in civil engineering from Surrey is an excellent foundation for your career in the construction industry, and in professions far removed from engineering. Recent graduates have entered employment in roles such as: Graduate Site Manager, Walker Construction; Graduate Civil Engineer, Atkins; Graduate Civil Engineer, Mott Macdonald; Assistant Project Manager, Lendlease Group; Structural Engineer, GDC Partnership; Graduate Structural Engineer, ARUP; Graduate Site Engineer, Costain.
