About Civil and Structural EngineeringMEng, MEng - at University of Sheffield

You'll be given a strong grounding in the core disciplines of structures, water engineering and geotechnics. The second half of the course focuses on more specialised and advanced structural engineering modules.

With an ethos of sustainability guiding every decision, this course develops advanced technical and multidisciplinary design skills in the principles behind civil and structural engineering, leaving your options open for a range of careers in the industry.

Research-active academics and teachers with extensive industrial experience give you a broad-base understanding in this Civil and Structural Engineering MEng with the option to specialise in your final year - making it perfect if you're not sure which area of civil engineering you want to go into.

The course integrates a strong focus on civil and structural engineering analysis and design with the latest research on sustainable development, equipping you to tackle challenges in the built environment and design innovative solutions that minimise impact on the environment.

Years one and two will see you concentrate on the core disciplines of structural engineering, water infrastructure engineering, fluid mechanics, and geotechnical engineering, from both an analysis and design perspective.

The second half of the course prepares you for your future career, extending your design experience and allowing you to specialise in those advanced topics you're passionate about. You can unleash your ingenuity and creativity on a grand scale by designing conceptual solutions for a low-environmental impact urban regeneration project, and then engineering one aspect of the project in greater detail. You’ll also develop and carry out your own research project with one of the academic staff.

The course challenges you to solve increasingly complex problems - building on your core knowledge with specialist modules in the final year so that you'll graduate as a skilled, competent and well-rounded engineer.

This degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprising the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, Institute of Highway Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Permanent Way Institution on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
