This includes bridges, tunnels, transport systems, buildings, flood defences and water management.<br/><br/>This degree will provide you with a solid background in the design and analysis of civil engineering structures. You will gain engineering skills of critical importance when working in industry, including the ability to break a complex engineering problem down into its component parts, to sketch and model engineering solutions and to be able to understand and prepare technical reports.<br/><br/>You will spend the third of your four years on a paid industrial placement, putting your skills into practice and greatly enhancing your employability<br/><br/>As you progress, your developing analytical abilities will combine with hands-on experience of state-of-the-art equipment, establishing skills which are vital to securing employment in the civil engineering industry. Studying a modern degree with close connections to the rapidly evolving industry, you will learn about current design practices and the latest engineering standards. We will nurture your computer modelling skills by encouraging you to develop your own software to analyse real world civil engineering problems.
