This degree programme covers all the material necessary to become a civil engineer.

You will also develop a valuable combination of technical ability, critical judgement, communication skills and intellectual qualities.

We offer this degree at Master's level (MEng) and Bachelor's level (BEng). The Engineering Council (UK) recommends that UK and EU students apply for the MEng degree as this is seen as the most direct route to becoming professionally qualified.

Our degrees are divided into Stages. Each Stage lasts for an academic year and you need to complete modules totalling 120 credits by the end of each Stage.

Stage 1

Compulsory modules

• CEG1001  Design of Sustainable Engineering Systems 1
• CEG1003  Human System Demands and Impacts
• CEG1101  Environmental Systems
• CEG1201  Geotechnical Properties of Soils and Rocks
• CEG1301  Engineering Mechanics and Materials
• CEG1501  Fluid Mechanics
• CEG1709  Engineering Surveying 1
• CEG1710  Geographic Information Systems
• ENG1001  Engineering Mathematics 1

Stage 2

Compulsory modules

• CEG2001  Design of Sustainable Engineering Systems 2
• CEG2002  Statistics and Numerical Methods for Civil Engineers
• CEG2003  Engineering Informatics
• CEG2101  Treatment of Water and Wastewater
• CEG2201  Geotechnics
• CEG2301  Structural Analysis
• CEG2302  Steel and Concrete Structures
• CEG2401  Land Traffic and Highways
• CEG2501  Hydraulics
• CEG2712  Engineering Surveying 2

The first two Stages of this degree are shared with our Civil and Structural Engineering degree. It may be possible to transfer to this degree at the end of Stage 2 should you decide that you wish to specialise in structures for your remaining two years instead of environmental, geotechnical, transport or water resources engineering.

Stage 3

Compulsory modules

• CEG3001  Design of Sustainable Engineering Systems 3
• CEG3002  Construction Management
• CEG3003  Engineering Ethics and Sustainability
• CEG3004  Sustainable Engineering Systems Design Project
• CEG3201  Geotechnical Design
• CEG3301  Design of Building Systems
• CEG3305  Computational Engineering Analysis
• CEG3401  Design of Transport Infrastructure
• CEG3503  Hydrosystems Engineering

Stage 4
