Where our graduates work

Civil and environmental engineering is a new course. However, our civil engineering graduates have gone on to occupy positions in engineering consultancies and contractors such as Arup, Mott Macdonald, Buro Happold, Atkins, Jacobs, Interserve Project Ltd, Water & Wastewater Companies (e.g. Severn Trent), and local authorities (e.g. Warwickshire County Council).

Previous environmental management graduates have gone on to work in industry, local authorities, environmental regulators (Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales and Scottish Environmental Protection Agency), water and energy utilities, universities and consultancies. Others have undertaken further study, such as a PhD.
