About this course

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including architectural engineering, environmental engineering,geotechnical engineering, control engineering, structural engineering,earthquake engineering, transportation engineering, forensic engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, wastewater engineering, offshore engineering, facade engineering, quantity surveying, coastal engineering, construction surveying, and construction engineering.

Job Opportunities

Civil and structural engineers work in a range of sectors, particularly the construction sector, on buildings of all kinds, transport and communications infrastructure. This includes bridges, roads, tunnels, canals and other large structures. They also work for employers involved in the production, storage and distribution of electricity, gas and water. Civil engineers are employed by a range of contractors and consultancies and also work in-house for a variety of national and multinational organizations. There are many opportunities in the public sector, with local authorities, government departments and environmental organizations, where engineers are often involved in setting project specifications and drafting tender documents. Opportunities are available with employers both in the UK and overseas.
