Civil Engineering

Our Civil Engineering programmes offer a comprehensive education in structural, environmental, and transportation engineering, with a focus on sustainability and innovation. Join us to build a rewarding career in shaping the world's infrastructure and addressing critical global challenges.

Skills

Graduate with an advanced set of skills and professional expertise, ready for industry.

Civil Engineers are responsible for designing, constructing, and maintaining infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, buildings, and water systems. They ensure that projects comply with legislation and safety standards and plan projects, manage construction activities, and oversee the work of contractors and site operatives. They assess the environmental impact of projects, solve complex engineering problems, and ensure the structural integrity and sustainability of the infrastructure they create.

Throughout your time at Roehampton, you’ll develop your technical expertise, problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills. You will graduate ready to excel in the dynamic field of civil engineering upon completing our BEng/MEng degrees.

Learning

Our dynamic approach to learning will prepare you for the real-world of civil engineering.

• Learn alongside other sustainable engineering and technology students just like you will as a professional.
• Project-based learning will give you the practical experience of working as a Civil Engineer.
• Formal and interactive lectures and workshops to ensure you graduate with the technical expertise you need.

Sustainability is central to Civil Engineering and will be embedded in everything you learn, with a particular emphasis on good health and well-being, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, and sustainable cities, and communities.

Assessment

You’ll be set authentic assessments, meaning that your projects, tasks and exercises will replicate the working world of civil engineering.

This could include:

• Technical reports
• Lab reports
• Essays and presentations

Between Years 2 and 3, you can also opt for a professional placement year, meaning you have the opportunity to apply for a placement and gain valuable real-world experience.

Career

You’ll graduate with a huge range of opportunities in the built environment sector.

In London and around the UK there are Civil Engineering employers who offer opportunities in areas of design, consultancy, structures, railways, coastal, transport, water and infrastructure.
