Civil Engineering BEng (Hons)

Civil engineers are responsible for the design, project management and construction of the physical infrastructure of our society. Our broad-based, vocational programme covers all the required aspects of a civil engineer’s education, with an emphasis on applying your learning in context.

This broad-based Civil Engineering programme provides sound academic training for a career as a professional engineer.

Civil engineering graduates are in great demand. Careers in civil and structural engineering offer some of the highest-paid jobs for graduates in the UK (Telegraph Graduate jobs: Top 10 starting salaries, June 2017).

As well as covering all the required bases of a civil engineer’s education, key features of the programme are the individual and group projects that students undertake in all years of their studies, applying their learning in context, with industrial feedback and an emphasis on engaging with the digital world of civil engineering.

Course content

Discover what you'll learn, what you'll study, and how you'll be taught and assessed.

Year three

You will be introduced to the essentials: structural analysis and design, fluid mechanics and hydraulics, geomechanics, materials, transport and infrastructure, the digital built environment and its digitisation.

An exciting part of the third year of our programme is a week of real, hands-on construction experience at ‘The Constructionarium’. The Constructionarium takes place at a six-hectare site, specifically designed and built to provide a range of challenging teaching and learning conditions for students. There is an additional cost of up to £250 for the Constructionarium.

On the 2+2 programme, you'll study your third and fourth years at the University of Liverpool. These will be year two and year three of the University of Liverpool's programme of study.
