Everyday we rely on some aspect of Civil Engineering to enable us to live our lives. Whether it is building the French Millau bridge, the London Eye, the Petronas Towers or life-saving water treatment plants in developing countries, civil engineering is the core discipline that enables projects to happen. It touches just about every kind of structure you can think about: bridges, roads, tunnels, skyscrapers, water supply facilities and even the coast and flood defences that protect homes. Civil engineering is fundamental to the world around us and underpins a modern society.
Over the years, Civil Engineering at Nottingham UK, has been consistently rated in the top Civil Engineering Schools in the country. A choice of MEng and BEng programmes is offered.

The main areas and principles of civil engineering are introduced in the first and second years. In later years more advanced subjects are included together with optional modules. Additionally, the course seeks to develop your understanding and critical judgement and improve your abilities in communication and other transferable skills.
