About this course
This course has alternative study modes. Contact the university to find out how the information below might vary.
Study our accredited three-year civil engineering degree for a successful career in the construction industry.
The BEng Hons Civil Engineering covers a range of industrial chemical manufacturing and processing technologies, with modules in construction management and technology, engineering geology, hydraulics and soil mechanics. You will have the chance to study specialisms in water engineering, bridge design and the design of concrete structures, enabling you to shape the course to your own interests.
This degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators on behalf of the Engineering Council. We also have links to major companies such as Atkins, BAM Nuttall and Amey.
Career options for our civil engineering graduates include roles in chemical and process engineering, pharmaceutical industries and food and beverage.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
What do graduate employment figures really tell you?Do you want to be in demand? This might be the degree for you! We are officially short of civil engineers, and so around two thirds of civil engineering graduates start jobs specifically as civil engineers, and starting salaries are well over £25k last year. Demand for civil engineers and related jobs - we're short of all of them - means that good graduates have plenty of options directly related to their degree when they graduate. This is a subject where work experience can be very helpful in getting a job and many students do work for engineering companies while they take their degrees.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
