Civil Engineering Design and Construction

About this course

Civil engineering design and construction is the branch of engineering that creates and maintains the built infrastructure on which societies depend, from roads, bridges, and railways to water supply systems, flood defences, ports, and major buildings. It is a discipline that demands both creative problem-solving and technical precision, combining the physics of materials and structures with the practical challenges of construction in complex environments, often to demanding deadlines, within strict budget constraints, and with the safety of workers and the public as a paramount concern. Civil engineers shape the physical world, and the infrastructure they design and build endures for generations. At Nottingham Trent University, this four-year full-time degree combines design principles and engineering science with an emphasis on construction practice, giving you a programme that connec
