If you are creative, enjoy design and aspire to improve the world around you, then civil engineering is for you. This degree will equip you to find solutions to global environmental problems and design large and unique structures that shape society - 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 also benefit from our world-class laboratory facilities, including one of the most advanced earthquake-shaking tables in Europe.

The first two and final two years of this course are shared with MEng Civil Engineering. You will spend your third year on a placement in industry, applying the knowledge you have gained during your first two years of study.

There's no direct entry into this course but you can transfer from our other civil engineering courses if you reach a high academic standard and are successful at a placement interview. Places are limited and highly competitive.

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 you will undertake. 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.

Returning from your placement, you will carry out a major individual research project and continue to develop key practical and professional skills such as project management, entrepreneurship, economics and risk analysis.

In the final year, you will be able to choose units that tailor your studies to your interests and career aspirations. You will also take part in an exciting group design project that combines all your learning as you tackle a realistic design challenge. Projects range from transportation to smart cities and from skyscrapers to sustainable housing.

We work closely with industry to 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.
