Civil and environmental engineering
Civil engineers design, build and maintain the physical world around us. They ensure we’re supplied with electricity, clean water and energy, and keep us moving with roads, bridges and airports. Become a civil engineer and you’ll be advancing and protecting the very fabric of modern society.
Why choose our civil engineering course
Design, assemble and dismantle (DAD) project
We offer a tailor made design, assemble and dismantle (DAD) project every year, for civil engineering students at all levels, which is about the design, assembly and dismantling of a full scale lattice structure. Each team designs a structure based on the materials that are available, and then another team will use these designs to build the structure within a two-hour time frame.
