Civil Engineering (Part-time) Liverpool John Moores University

Overview

If you are interested in creating the structures that support life's basic needs for water, flood control, hospitals, recreation and transport, the Civil Engineering (Part-time) course offered by Liverpool John Moores University  is a good place to start.

Civil Engineers design, plan and manage civil and environmental projects from concept to realisation, considering structural problems and aesthetics as well as the environmental and economic impacts.

They need to be competent technically, practical in outlook and capable of giving professional advice on a variety of subjects ranging from design to construction and site management.

Employability

Many of you will want to stay with your current employer, but some may move on to other employment at some stage in your career development. Career opportunities are varied and interesting. Civil engineers may work on site, or in office-based design work either in civil engineering practices or in local authorities, government agencies or non-governmental organisations. There are good opportunities for work overseas and in the UK on projects such as tall buildings, football stadia, bridges, roads and water treatment works.

If you decide not to pursue a civil engineering career, you will find that the transferable skills gained on the course are highly valued in many other fields of employment.
