About this course

Civil and environmental engineering addresses the built and natural systems that society depends upon: roads, bridges, tunnels, water treatment works, flood defences, sustainable drainage, and the infrastructure that makes urban and rural life possible. It is a discipline that requires both rigorous technical training and sensitivity to the environmental and social consequences of engineering decisions. As climate change intensifies, the demands placed on civil engineers to design resilient, low-carbon, and ecologically thoughtful infrastructure are growing rapidly. At Cardiff University, this four-year, full-time degree combines the core disciplines of civil engineering with a sustained focus on environmental applications and sustainability. You will study structural analysis and design, learning how buildings, bridges, and other structures bear loads and resist failure. Geotechnics in
