土木工程与建筑环境的规划，设计，建造和维护有关。它包括次要和主要结构，范围从排水系统，房屋，商业建筑，道路和桥梁到多层建筑以及水和废水处理设施。土木工程师的工作在我们生活和工作的结构中最为明显，他们的贡献也体现在我们每天使用的诸如地铁，高速公路，铁路，机场和港口等运输系统中。他们还参与了我们不断发展的城市的复杂供水和卫生系统的设计，建造和运营。在此类项目中，以及更广泛的意义上讲，它们还履行着至关重要的公共和环境卫生职能。
Civil Engineering is concerned with the planning, design, construction and maintenance of the built environment. It encompasses minor and major structures, ranging from drainage systems, houses, commercial buildings, roads and bridges to multi-story buildings and water and wastewater treatment facilities. The work of civil engineers is most visible in the structures in which we live and work. Their contribution is also seen in transportation systems that we use on a daily basis such as subways, motorways, railways, airports and harbours. They are also involved in the design, construction and operation of complex water supply and sanitation systems for our ever-growing cities. In such projects and more generally, they perform a critical public and environmental health function as well.<br>The Civil Engineering degree programme sets out to develop the scientific, technical, organisational, IT and communication skills needed for a satisfying and rewarding career as a Civil Engineer.<br>Civil Engineers work in rapidly changing and challenging areas using traditional and new materials and techniques, and increasingly incorporating IT solutions at design and construction stage. You could be involved in schemes from design to management stage through to completion in what are often highly complex projects. Therefore, the profession combines creative skills with an aptitude for mathematics and technical subjects. At the most challenging end of the profession, where the management of large projects is involved, a high degree of administration skills are also required.<br><br>Career Opportunities<br>Graduates from this programme will find employment in:<br>Consulting/Contracting (dealing e.g. with Structures, Transportation, Public Health, Offshore and Coastal Engineering)<br>Government Departments, Semi-State Organisations, Local Authorities
