Civil Engineering with Sustainability
1656 PointsProgram Description
You will study the traditional elements of civil engineering including design, structures, materials, fluid mechanics, geotechnics and maths. You’ll be introduced to a range of sustainable infrastructure topics and then progress to specialist subjects such as water and wastewater engineering.
Access is available to custom-designed technical facilities to work on your laboratory experiments. These include fluids and hydraulics laboratories, and structures, materials and geotechnics labs. The latest industry standard engineering software packages are available for you to use in dedicated computer clusters.
During your studies, there is a residential field trip with hands-on experience in surveying and geology using industry standard equipment. You will also benefit from guest lectures delivered by industry professionals, as well as visits to construction sites and civil engineering development projects.

Course Content
Course delivery is a combination of theory and practical sessions. In your first two years, you will gain solid knowledge and understanding of mainstream civil engineering. You’ll also develop your reflective skills and professional development planning through the ‘Professional Skills’ module and your personal development log. In your final year, you move on to modern topics such as sustainable infrastructure development and you will work on your individual research project.
Teaching and Learning
Our civil engineering with sustainability degrees are delivered by a diverse team of academic staff. This means you’ll be learning from a teaching team with both scientific knowledge and industrial experience. There will also be guest lectures from our industry partners and civil engineering site visits.
Study will combine lectures, tutorials and seminars, laboratory work, computer modelling, field work, self-study, research reports and project work.
Curriculum
Careers
Many of our civil engineering graduates begin their careers with contractors and consultants working on large infrastructure projects such as:
- bridges
- high-rise buildings
- tunnels
- flood and coastal defence schemes
- transport
- highways
- water treatment
- modern methods of construction
Some go on to jobs with multinational and local government agencies or major firms of consulting engineers. Others specialise in:
- construction
- sustainability
- innovative materials
- foundation engineering
- tunnelling
- geotechnical exploration
- highway engineering
Opting for the year in industry during your civil engineering degree may lead to a job offer from your placement company.
A civil engineer has a rewarding and varied career. A degree in civil engineering will set you up with innovative and transferable knowledge ready to face the engineering challenges of the modern world.
