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 environmental engineering.
Alongside this, 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.
The final year of the Civil Engineering with Sustainability offered by Brunel University London is about broadening and deepening your knowledge and understanding of the discipline, to better meet the leadership needs of industry.
Employability
Graduates from the MEng degree course have demonstrated themselves to be of the highest calibre of their peer group. Generally, our MEng students have a number of job offers before they graduate, and find themselves in the enviable position of cherry-picking their prospective careers.
The five-year thick-sandwich degree programme enables you to gain high-quality, relevant professional experience which is sought by employers. 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
Brunel graduates typically progress into jobs as contractors and consultants working on large infrastructure projects such as flood and coastal defence schemes, transport, water treatment and low-carbon energy generation, such as off-shore wind farms.
Some work for national and local government agencies or major firms of consulting engineers; others 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 have secured positions at:
- Atkins
- BAA
- Mace
- Coca-Cola
- Clancy Docwra
- Laing OÕRourke
- Waterflow.
