School of Civil Engineering

As one of the largest Civil Engineering School's in the UK we have an established track record in the field. With 40 academic and research staff and nearly 700 students we are a major player in the field of civil engineering, educating students in the areas of civil, structural and environmental engineering, architectural technology, project management, infrastructure and asset management and waste management.

FIRST CLASS FACILITIES

The School has a wide range of modern experimental facilities to support postgraduate research projects. We have a new suite of Public Health laboratories with separate areas for solid waste, water and wastewater, a class II microbiology lab and clean room for molecular biology work including PCR techniques.

We also have bench-top tests to look at the fundamental behaviour of materials and soils and testing rigs for full-scale structures built of construction materials including recycled materials and composite materials. This allows research programmes to focus on characterisation, modelling and application thus having a direct impact on industry.

With research in the School increasingly focusing on numerical modelling, we have also invested in excellent computational facilities including our own in-house provision as well as access to high-performance computing for particularly intensive analytical work.

Software includes industry-standard CFD, structural and geotechnical modelling and Building Information Modelling packages as well as a range of bespoke tools developed within research groups.

STRONG INDUSTRIAL LINKS

The content of our MSc courses are industrially orientated and members of staff maintain close contact with industry to ensure that material is up to date and in-line with employer needs. An Industrial Advisory Board ensures that industrial partners provide input onto the ongoing development and review of the courses and contribute towards the courses by providing guest lectures.

All our MSc courses provide an excellent base from which to pursue a PhD.
