About this course

Civil engineering is the discipline responsible for designing, constructing and maintaining the physical infrastructure on which modern life depends. Roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, airports, water treatment systems, coastal defences and urban drainage are all the work of civil engineers. As global populations grow and climate change increases the pressure on existing infrastructure, civil engineers face some of the most significant and consequential professional challenges of the coming decades, combining technical problem-solving with environmental responsibility and social impact. At Loughborough University, one of the UK's most highly regarded engineering institutions, this three-year full-time programme develops your expertise across the full breadth of the discipline. You will study structural mechanics, geotechnics, fluid mechanics and hydrology, materials science, project man
