Why study Civil Engineering BEng(Hons) at Huddersfield?
We are currently investing in our Civil Engineering laboratories so by the time you are scheduled to dive into the practical elements of a Civil Engineering course at Huddersfield, there will be brand new facilities to explore structures, materials and hydraulics with our course team who are leading researchers in the field.

The course focuses on many aspects of Civil Engineering, including fundamental principles of statics, dynamics, materials, geotechnics, and hydraulics, with design, construction, business, and sustainability considerations. Providing you with flexibility in your choice of an engineering career path after graduation. EngineeringUK report that projections suggest net growth in engineering roles of 2.8% compared to 2.3% in all occupations. Growth at that level would lead to 173,000 new engineering and technology jobs by 2030.*

Within our engineering subject area our full-time courses share a common first year giving you the flexibility to change course in year two.

In your first and second year, you'll learn through our problem-based learning initiative, EnABLE (Engineering in an Activity Based Learning Environment). Providing you the opportunity to work in small teams, reflecting how industry works. You’ll solve real, civil engineering problems and test your solutions against other groups.

In your third year, we will encourage you to secure an industrial placement. Doing a placement should enhance your career prospects, expand your network, help you to discover the real world of engineering and improve your academic performance in the final year.

In your final year you will work on a individual research/design project with the support of your academic supervisor. You will be encouraged to align this with one of the Master's team projects, which involve the design and build of either a road, airborne or rail vehicle, for example, Team HARE, Team Hawk or HudRail.

Our graduates often find themselves at the heart of technological developments within a wide range of engineering industries. We aim to provide you with strong practical, theoretical, and transferrable skills that will prepare you for an interesting and challenging future as a professional Civil Engineer.
