In your first two years, youÕll learn fundamental engineering skills in design and management. You'll gain a detailed understanding of mechanics, geotechnical and structural engineering theory and analysis. You'll use the ingenuity and communication skills that are essential in the challenging environment of civil engineering design.

Group work with architecture students will give you a taster of the professional team relationships you'll experience in your future career. This will help you to develop the imaginative approaches and people skills that are just as important in the wide range of civil engineering projects that don't involve architects. Working in interdisciplinary teams will teach you how to find creative and well-rounded solutions to civil engineering challenges.

You are free to move between civil and civil and architectural engineering courses up to the end of your second year.
