About this course
BEng/MEng in Civil Engineering, a civil engineering degree focused on the planning, construction, and maintenance of the built environment and infrastructure. Core topics include Engineering Design and Entrepreneurship. The curriculum includes practical design projects and individual research projects culminating in the final year. The first year covers core scientific and mathematical principles through Analogue Electronics 1, Engineering Skills 1, Environmental Engineering 1, and Materials 1. The second year introduces specialized concepts with Soil Mechanics 2, Structural Design 2, Structural Design Project 2, and Environmental Processes 2. The third year advances into technical subjects via Structural Design 3, Structural Mechanics 3, Geotechnical Engineering 3, and Mechanics of Solids 3. The fourth year expands analytical and management capabilities with Civil Design Project 4, Individual Project 4, Finite Element Analysis 4, and Geotechnical Engineering 4. The fifth year concludes the integrated master's path with advanced study including Conceptual Design Project M and Individual Project 5.
