Our Civil Engineering course is founded on strong industry links in a region that boasts a wide range of cutting-edge engineering and technology.
Why study with us
- Our courses are supported by an Industry Advisory Committee with representatives from regional SME, as well as national and international companies. This ensures courses remain relevant to industry requirements; they are also very keen to meet students on project presentation days.
- Work in the broad area of civil engineering or specialise either as a structural engineer, environmental engineer or geotechnical engineer.
- Work on live projects with our industry partners and advance your project management skills. This will be a huge asset as you progress into more senior roles during your career.
What you'll do
- Step out on regular field trips to see best practice projects and get hands-on experience of live projects.
- Design projects are used to bring all aspects of civil engineering together. You'll assess real-life scenarios, from reservoirs for water supply to the design of new motorway junctions and bridges.
- Take the opportunity to become a research intern, working with the University’s research staff during your summer vacation.

Trips and visits
Field trips and site visits help to bring the theory to life. Previous students have visited Tata Shapfell limestone works, the Low-Level Waste Repository, the Heron Mill hydro project and the Constructionarium.
Our students also visited Blencathra on a funded, low-carbon, three-night residential field trip. This trip focussed on local geology, environmental issues and how this influences the area's civil engineering.
Accreditations
- This course has been accredited by the CIOB, the globally recognised professional body for construction and leadership. Accreditation can lead to high level career opportunities in large organisations and private practice.
- This degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprising the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, Institute of Highway Engineers, and the Chartered Institution of Highways on behalf of the Engineering Council partially satisfying the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
Future Careers
