Civil Engineering

About this course

Civil engineering is the discipline concerned with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical infrastructure that supports modern society. Roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, water supply and treatment systems, buildings, railways and coastal defences are all products of civil engineering, and the profession plays a central role in responding to the challenges of population growth, urbanisation, climate change and the need to renew ageing infrastructure. It is a discipline that combines engineering science with practical problem-solving and, increasingly, with the management of complex projects involving many different stakeholders and contractors. At Birmingham City University this programme, which includes a sandwich year and work placements, is designed to meet the requirements of relevant professional bodies, giving your civil engineering education a strong professional dim
