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 your knowledge of structures and geotechnics. Design is 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. You can also take the Industrial Placement Year, which is an additional year-long module that allows you to apply for a placement with an engineering-based organisation. The successful placement will be recognised on your Degree Certificate. Our dedicated Civil Engineering Employment Officer can provide guidance on your discipline, employment opportunities and developing your CV. The University Careers and Employability Serviceprovides further support. 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.
