This broad-based Civil Engineering programme provides sound academic training for the professional engineer. 

Civil engineering graduates are in great demand. Careers in civil and structural engineering offer some of the highest paid jobs for graduates in the UK (source: Telegraph Graduate jobs: Top 10 starting salaries, June 2017).

As well as covering all the required bases of a civil engineer’s education, key features of the programme are the individual and group projects that students undertake in all years of their studies, applying their learning in context, with industrial feedback and an emphasis in engaging with the digital world of civil engineering.

This is a vocational programme which aims to provide the educational base for civil engineering graduates who demonstrate ingenuity whilst being practical, articulate, numerate, literate, imaginative, versatile, confident and inquisitive.

The BEng programme (H200) shares the same core modules as the MEng programme (H202) during all three years of study. Students taking the BEng programme, who have reached the required academic standard in their studies, are eligible to transfer to the MEng programme at the end of their Year Two. In Year Four, the MEng students study more specialised fields of civil engineering at an advanced level including: structural and geotechnical engineering and construction management. Additionally they undertake a multidisciplinary project, extending across both semesters of the academic year.

The University of Liverpool’s Careers & Employability Service maximises opportunities for career prospects, graduate opportunities, student summer placements and the annual engineering careers fair with 30 blue chip companies attending (including Jaguar Land Rover, Nestle, Toyota, JCB, British Army, United Utilities, ABB Ltd, Network Rail, BAE Systems and many more). Our degrees provide pathways into rewarding careers and our graduates have found employment in a wide range of international industries and organisations.
