Civil Engineering - BEng (Hons)

Civil Engineering works by designing, building and maintaining the infrastructure we rely on on a daily basis: buildings, roads, bridges, water and energy systems, waste disposal networks, and much more. People working in Civil Engineering & Construction need to change plans and frameworks and find solutions to complex problems such as human growth or natural disasters. Other technologies included by Civil Engineering are Transport Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Geotechnical Engineering. State Engineering, you will learn how to follow building safety standards and building rules. You will learn how to manage construction projects, do all the calculations and make adjustments where needed. Other important building blocks to keep in mind are: environmental impact, durability, and the appropriate use of building materials for the projects you will be working on.
