Civil and Infrastructure Engineering (with Placement)

This degree gives you the knowledge and skills to design civil and infrastructure engineering facilities that are resilient and sustainable. You will study structural, geotechnical, and hydraulic engineering, with a focus on digital and data-driven collaborative engineering design for a low-carbon future.

Prepare for a career in civil and infrastructure engineering, working either with consultants or contractors and contributing to a more sustainable future.

You will study structures, geotechnics, hydraulics, and sustainability, applied to civil and infrastructure engineering.

We will build your professional engineering skills over three years, focusing on innovative and sustainable solutions to civil and infrastructural engineering problems.

Individual and group engineering design projects will help to demonstrate your knowledge, skills and employability.

• Benefit from strong links to industry through guest lectures and projects designed by high profile engineers

• Access world-leading laboratories, including our flagship Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility, where you will conduct research and test theories

• Get hands-on experience with concrete, soil and other materials testing equipment

• Take an optional placement year to boost your employability – recent placements have included Balfour Beatty, AECOM, Arup, Interserve and Network Rail

• Enjoy easy access to leading civil and structural engineering contractors and consultants, thanks to our central London location

• Fast-track your progress to Chartered Engineer status, with a degree that meets all academic requirements for professional registration.

As a fully qualified civil engineer, you will plan, design and construct the infrastructure around us. Your career may see you specialise in buildings, motorways, railways, bridges, coastal protection, or energy infrastructure.

Graduates from City St George's have worked on major projects, including the HS2 rail project and the development of London landmark buildings.

Our recent graduates have secured employment with organisations such as AECOM, Atkins, Building Design Consultants, London Bridge Associates, Mott MacDonald, Arup and Ramboll. As well as contracting engineering practices such as Balfour Beatty Engineering, Jacobs Engineering and Skanska.
