BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering

Developed in-line with the Engineering Council standards, this BEng Civil Engineering course allows you to delve into a dynamic field with an array of opportunities for specialism and growth.

At BNU you're not just learning about structures and infrastructure, you're learning how you can shape the future. Gain the skills to design sustainable buildings, resilient infrastructure, and innovative solutions that tackle global challenges like climate change and urbanization head-on.

Civil engineers play a crucial role in shaping the world around us. They design, construct, and maintain essential infrastructure such as buildings, roads, bridges, dams, and water supply systems, which in turn contribute to the development and improvement of society.

The field of civil engineering is also constantly evolving with advancements in technology and materials, and as a civil engineer, you'll tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges, from climate change adaptation to urban development.

On the BEng Civil Engineering course, you’ll delve into core topics such as structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, environmental engineering, and hydraulic engineering. We also ensure that sustainability and innovation is at the core of our curriculum and modules.

During your time on the course you’ll contribute your own innovative solutions to a range of questions and challenges such as climate change adaptation, renewable energy integration, and smart infrastructure development.

Throughout the course, you will engage in design projects and laboratory exercises that simulate real-world engineering challenges. These hands-on experiences allow you to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems, develop critical thinking skills, and gain valuable experience in project management and teamwork.

In addition to technical knowledge, the BEng Civil Engineering course also focuses on developing employability skills such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and project management.

These skills are essential for success in the workplace and are cultivated through group projects, presentations, and other collaborative activities. Employability is also embedded throughout the course through various professional development initiatives. This may include workshops on resume writing and interview skills, guest lectures from industry professionals, and opportunities for networking and internships.
