This Civil Engineering degree is designed around five principal areas: materials, structures, geotechnics, surveying, and construction management. These subjects are core to the civil engineering curriculum, as defined by the Joint Board of Moderators for accredited degree programs. This course is ideal for anyone aiming to become a chartered engineer.
Our teaching staff brings a wealth of experience from the construction industry. They have developed strong industry links as practitioners, members of professional bodies, and through industry collaborations and research projects in various civil engineering fields.
We have close connections with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), Construction Wales Innovation Centre (CWIC), and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). These partnerships provide a rich source of knowledge and experience, enhancing your learning and boosting your employability prospects. Graduates of our program often find opportunities not only as civil engineers but also in related fields such as building and site surveyors.
The course covers specialized subjects, including transport infrastructure engineering and environmental engineering, which are offered as separate modules. Our teaching approach combines traditional lectures with project-based learning. This means you will work on real case studies and scenarios, participate in site visits, and engage in practical exercises such as surveying and laboratory testing.
By studying at UWTSD, you will gain a comprehensive education in civil engineering, supported by experienced staff and strong industry connections. The skills and knowledge you acquire will prepare you for a successful career in the civil engineering field.
