Civil engineering deals with one of the most visible signs of change and progress around us: the construction of new buildings, structures and infrastructure. New roads, rail-links, bridges and airports are always needed. New buildings are required for the public and private sectors and older buildings are redeveloped. Civil engineers are required to plan, design, construct and maintain these facilities.

 

Practical sessions are carried out to provide as much “hands-on” experience as possible. There is continuous assessment of reports, drawings and projects in addition to mid and end of module examinations. The Department has active links with colleges in France, Germany, Finland, and the Czech Republic and arranges student study exchanges with these colleges.
