Civil Engineering - BEng (Hons)

University of Manchester

Civil Engineering at Manchester enables you to lay the right foundation for a career in this field with a three-year course that will not only lead to a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) qualification, but also arm you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to enter an industry that, at its core, makes modern society work.Civil Engineering deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of our built environment, from buildings to bridges, roads to railways - and considers what this means for the future of our planet and society.In the first two years of our BEng in Civil Engineering, you will develop a strong understanding of essential topics such as structural analysis, hydraulics, geotechnics, construction materials, engineering design, project management, and mathematics. What's more, you will study these topics using our fantastic array of facilities and equipment.You will then undertake an individual research project in your final year, where you will have the flexibility to study emerging subjects such as renewable energy systems and resource efficiency and management.Upon completion of the course, you will be equipped to enter Civil Engineering professions - the degree fully satisfies the base for becoming an Incorporated Engineer (IEng), and partially satisfies the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng). This can then be completed with a programme of accredited Further Learning.You will also benefit from our welcoming community, where you can join some of the Department's various student societies, such as The University of Manchester Civil Engineering Society, to meet like-minded people, make new friends and explore all things Civil Engineering.
