About this course

If you are creative, enjoy design and aspire to improve the world around us, then civil engineering is for you. The course balances deep theoretical knowledge with practical application. Design is central to the course and this is reflected in the projects and real-world challenges you will face.

In the first year, you will develop a sustainable solution to an open-ended problem, such as designing and making a model bridge.
