Overview

The Civil and Structural Engineering course offers a route to an accredited degree, providing a broad education across the major areas of civil engineering. The course prepares you for the demands of a civil engineering career, with ample opportunities for developing communication skills, group working, research skills and self-directed study.

The course offers the flexibility to tailor your education to reflect your interests and career plans, whilst still maintaining the rigorous standards of an accredited degree.
