Civil Engineering BEng (Hons)

Why choose this course
Our civil engineering courses provide you with an industry-focused, practical training which prepares you for work as a professional civil engineer. There’s a strong emphasis on structural engineering, and throughout your course you’ll work in teams on integrated design projects that are centred on industry-relevant case studies.

Our close links with industry enable you to take up a salaried Professional Training placement with one of the world’s leading contractor or consultancy companies, giving you valuable experience which contributes towards chartership. Many of our students also benefit from our unique Surrey/ICE (Institution of Civil Engineers) Scholarship Scheme.

What you will study
On our fully accredited courses you will study a lively mix of modules which draw on Surrey’s outstanding expertise in areas such as water and environmental engineering, and advanced geotechnical engineering. You’ll learn not just through lectures, tutorials and practical challenges, but from industry speakers, site visits and a first year field trip.

Whether you decide on a BEng or MEng, you’ll study the same content for the first three years, and conduct a major third year project on a topic of your choice. MEng students then do a masters year which covers the full academic requirements for becoming a chartered engineer. Depending on your progress, you may be able to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies. Find out more about the benefits of an integrated masters degree.
