Master of Engineering [M.Eng] [Civil Engineering] From Brunel University

Drawing on an impressive body of pure and applied research engineers and scientists, we will introduce you to mainstream civil engineering knowledge, ranging from geotechnical site assessment to assessing and designing structures and water engineering.Professional engineers working with major clients, consultancies and contractors contribute to the course delivery, bringing real world experience to the Civil Engineering programme offered by Brunel University London in Civil Engineering.

We will explore the role of the engineer in current and future projects, following the sustainable Ôcradle to cradleÕ approach called for by major institutions such as the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Institution of Civil Engineers.

Employability

The four-year thick-sandwich degree programme enables you to gain high-quality, relevant professional experience which is sought by employers. This puts graduates from the course in a strong position when entering the job market. Students have the opportunity to change from the full-time mode of study to the thick-sandwich course up to the end of Level 2.

Careers and your future

This is relatively new course, launched in 2012. We anticipate that our students will help fill the increasing demand for high-quality civil engineering graduates. Contractors and consultants working on large infrastructure projects such as bridges, tall buildings, tunnels, flood defence schemes, transport and power generation are likely environments for many of our graduates to begin their careers.

Some may progress to take posts of responsibility with national and local government agencies or major firms of consulting engineers. Others may specialise in fields such as construction, sustainability, innovative materials, foundation engineering, tunnelling, geotechnical exploration or building services engineering, both within the UK and overseas.

Recent graduates and sandwich students on related courses have secured positions at:

• Atkins
• BAA
• Mace
• Houses of Parliament
• Arup
• Coca-Cola
• Clancy Docwra
• Laing OÕRourke
• Waterflow.
