BEng Civil Engineering with a Year in Industry

Program Overview

The Civil Engineering degree at Bristol University empowers students with the knowledge and skills to find solutions to global environmental problems and design unique structures that shape society. Graduates are highly sought after by top employers due to their industry-aligned skills and practical experience gained through advanced laboratory facilities and a potential Year in Industry. The program emphasizes design and practical application, equipping students to become future leaders in civil engineering.

Program Outline

This degree will equip you to find solutions to global environmental problems and design large and unique structures, such as buildings, bridges and other critical infrastructure assets that shape society — for example, water supply and treatment systems, transport networks and renewable electricity generation. The course balances deep theoretical knowledge with practical application. At Bristol, you will have access to our world-class laboratory facilities, including the most advanced earthquake shaking table in Europe. The Year in Industry degree provides the opportunity to spend your third year applying the knowledge gained in your first two years of study in an industrial environment. The first two years provide a strong foundation in engineering, including mathematics, structures, soil and fluid mechanics, computing and surveying. In your final year, you will undertake a major individual research project and continue to develop key practical and professional skills such as project management, entrepreneurship, economics and risk analysis. Design is central to the course and this is reflected in the projects and real-world challenges you will face. In the first year, you will develop a sustainable solution to an open-ended problem, such as designing and making a model bridge. The second year includes designing with steel, concrete and timber, geotechnical design and water engineering. We work closely with industry to ensure we equip you with the skills and experiences needed to become a future leader in civil engineering.
