Civil and Coastal Engineering Meng (Hon)

Are you fascinated by the designs of large coastal structures such as seawalls and breakwaters and how these withstand attack by the sea? Do you want to help protect our coastal communities from the threat of flooding and sea level rise? Do you want to understand how to plan and construct a port? Our MEng graduates in civil and coastal engineering are trained as civil engineers with specialist knowledge in the realisation of projects that are essential to the functioning of coastal societies.<br/><br/><br/>- Four year integrated masters programme.<br/><br/><br/>- In the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), also known as the Shanghai Ranking we are eighth out of 50, and the highest ranked UK university, for Marine/Ocean Engineering.<br/><br/><br/>- Distinguish yourself professionally with an accredited degree. Our MEng (Hons) is accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), The Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), The Institute of Highway Engineers, Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation and the Permanent Way Institution on behalf of the Engineering Council, for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). Youll qualify for membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and Institution of Structural Engineers.<br/><br/><br/>- Get your career off to a flying start by spending an optional work placement year working as a paid student engineer – a great opportunity to further your knowledge and make important industry contacts.<br/><br/><br/>- Study at one of the world’s leading centres for coastal engineering research – you’ll keep pace with the ever-changing discoveries, insights and thinking in the subject.<br/><br/><br/>- Benefit from our £19 million Marine Building, which offers facilities for teaching water and coastal engineering. Our design project module in coastal engineering equips you to specialise in design or flood risk management and port engineering.<br/><br/><br/>- Students in engineering, science and the arts have access to a range of specialist equipment and innovative laboratories in our new engineering and design facility.<br/><br/><br/>- Draw on our teaching staff of professionally qualified experts with relevant experience from the civil engineering industry, and researchers with national and international reputations. 95% of our students say our staff are good at explaining things [source: Discover Uni].<br/><br/><br/>- Learn a host of design skills from problem solving to sustainable development, as well as acquiring the critical thinking that plays a key role in the work of a civil engineer, including interpreting and analysing data.<br/><br/><br/>- Increase your employability by taking an extra-curricular HSE-recognised diving qualification (subject to availability).<br/><br/><br/>- Develop your professional skills including communication, self-management, team working and leadership, all vital in obtaining graduate employment and a rewarding career.<br/><br/><br/>- Join our extensive network of Chartered Civil Engineers who have graduated from the University of Plymouth and now work at all levels in the industry both nationally and internationally.<br/>
