If you are creative, enjoy design and aspire to improve the world around us, then civil engineering is for you. This degree will equip you to find solutions to global environmental problems and design large and unique sustainable structures that shape society and enable human and ecological systems to flourish - for example, buildings, bridges, water supply systems, transport networks, renewable electricity generation and other critical infrastructure assets.
The course balances deep theoretical knowledge with practical application. At Bristol, you will be taught by academics working at the leading edge of civil engineering research and practice, and benefit from our world-class laboratory facilities, including one of the most advanced earthquake shaking tables in Europe.
The first two years provide a strong foundation in engineering, including mathematics, structures, soil and fluid mechanics, coding and surveying.
Design is central to the course and this is reflected in the projects and real-world challenges you will face. In the first year, you will develop a sustainable solution to an open-ended problem, such as designing and making a model bridge. The second year includes designing with steel, concrete and timber, geotechnical design and water engineering.
In your third year, you will undertake a major individual research project and continue to develop key practical and professional skills such as project management, entrepreneurship, economics and risk analysis.
We work closely with industry to ensure we equip you with the skills and experiences needed to become a future leader in civil engineering. Our graduates are highly sought after by top employers, including civil engineering consultancies and construction companies, utility companies, the military, public transport providers, sustainable electricity generators, and environmental managers.
Accreditations
Our Civil Engineering BEng is accredited by IStructE, CIHT, IHE, ICE and PWI.
