Civil engineers tackle some of the greatest challenges in contemporary society by designing and building structures and infrastructure for an increasingly urbanised global population in an ever-changing environment.<br/><br/>Our Civil Engineering MEng course involves extensive design work linked to real-life engineering problems, allowing you to develop important professional skills such as teamwork, presenting, project management and report writing. These skills, combined with your specific technical expertise and critical thinking, will enable you to pursue a career as a professional civil engineer or choose from a wide range of other career options.<br/><br/>When you graduate, you are likely to be part of a team working on the planning, design, building and maintenance of infrastructure systems such as bridges, roads, railways and a variety of buildings such as skyscrapers, airports, hospitals or sports stadia worldwide. This requires an understanding and appreciation of the various people and processes that contribute to the construction cycle, that you can only acquire by studying in an integrated School such as ours.<br/><br/>All our teaching is delivered by inspirational academics with excellent expertise in their research field. By studying with us, you enter a stimulating, diverse and interactive environment from day one. We also bring in leading speakers from industry to enrich the learning experience with real-life engineering challenges.<br/><br/>**Whats the difference between MEng and BEng?**<br/><br/>The MEng course fully meets the educational requirements of becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng). The BEng course meets the educational requirement of becoming an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partially meets the requirements of the route to becoming a Chartered Engineer. The BEng course requires further study after graduation, either via an MSc or approved learning to meet the CEng requirements.<br/><br/>Students on the Civil Engineering BEng (Hons) degree may transfer to the Civil Engineering MEng (Hons) degree at the end of year 2, subject to satisfactory performance.<br/><br/>The BEng and MEng courses are essentially very similar, with the MEng having the addition of an integrated masters year. The MEng year means you have an extra year to study advanced topics in civil engineering analysis, design and management. You may also choose some specialist optional modules and undertake further group projects based on the needs of the industry.
