Civil Engineering, BEng (Hons) / MEng (Hons)
Swansea UniversityBay Campus, United Kingdom
Course overview
Civil engineers are vital to the design of our built environment. From bridges, tunnels and transport systems, to buildings, flood defences and water management, their performance is fundamental to modern society. This degree gives you a strong grounding in the design and analysis of civil engineering structures.
You will develop complex problem-solving skills, gain the ability to sketch and model engineering solutions, and will become comfortable preparing technical reports. As you progress, your developing analytical abilities will combine with hands-on experience, using state-of-the-art equipment, and establishing skills which are vital to securing employment in the civil engineering industry.
