Civil and Environmental Engineering (with Foundation Year) Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) - BEng (Hon)

The BEng Civil and Environmental Engineering allows you to develop the knowledge and skills to design resilient infrastructure that responds to the challenges of climate change.

You will combine core civil engineering principles with environmental awareness, learning how to model, analyse risk, and create adaptive solutions that enhance the long-term performance of infrastructure projects. 

You will build a strong foundation in essential engineering concepts, including mathematics, materials, soils, and site engineering, while gaining practical experience through lab-based learning and real-world problem solving. As you progress, you will deepen your understanding of structures, fluid mechanics, and geotechnics, applying your knowledge to increasingly complex engineering challenges. 

##### Accreditation

Accreditation will be sought from the Engineering Council via the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) after the first student output is available.

### Throughout the course, you will:

Develop core skills in civil and environmental engineering design and analysis 

* Develop core skills in civil and environmental engineering design and analysis 

* Learn how to model systems and assess risk in infrastructure projects 

* Explore soil mechanics, fluid mechanics, and structural design 

* Apply engineering principles to real-world and interdisciplinary challenges 

* Build problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking skills

You will gain hands-on experience through practical sessions and team-based projects, where you will tackle realistic engineering problems and develop confidence in applying your knowledge. As your studies progress, you will take on larger, more complex projects that reflect the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of the engineering profession. 

A key focus of the course is climate resilient infrastructure, where you will explore how engineers design and manage systems that remain functional and sustainable under changing environmental conditions. You will also complete an applied research project on a current environmental issue, developing skills in data analysis, ethical decision making, and critical evaluation. 

By the end of your degree, you will be equipped to approach complex engineering challenges with confidence. You will graduate with the technical expertise, practical experience, and problem-solving ability needed to contribute to sustainable infrastructure and make a meaningful impact in the field of civil and environmental engineering.
