Department of Civil Engineering

Civil engineering touches just about every kind of structure you can think about, from bridges to roads, to tunnels and skyscrapers. It is a discipline that has real-life applications in limitless aspects of modern living. A career in civil engineering allows you to be part of this, playing a role in shaping the built environment for generations to come. A career in civil engineering offers you responsibility, from ensuring the safety of others to determining the success of your project. A career in civil engineering is both rewarding and fulfilling - average starting salaries for civil engineering graduates are significantly higher than for other professions.

The Department of Civil Engineering provides a BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering (2+2, 4+0) programme which is concerned with the techniques and procedures by which dams and reservoirs, water supply and sewage disposal systems, power stations, ports, offshore works, transport systems, bridges, tall buildings and other structures are planned, designed, built, surveyed, tested, operated, maintained and decommissioned. The course includes a broad range of activities including field courses, individual projects, design work and laboratory work.

More information

Our research covers a wide range of experimental investigations and predictive numerical modelling studies supported by the latest computing and laboratory facilities. While maintaining the high quality of research of our home department at the University of Nottingham in the UK, we are investing in developing excellent facilities and laboratories. We have dedicated labs for structures, geotechnics and fluid mechanics, as well as a wide range of surveying equipment. We will also have a new strong floor facility for major structural testing. The Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Nottingham was ranked second in England for the quality of its research in the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) and is recognised for its world-class learning environment and its international reputation for new knowledge generation.
