Key Facts

Learn the heart of the UK’s rapidly growing ‘Energy Estuary’ and unlock solutions that improve lives through Hull's Civil Engineering degree. With a focus on sustainability, resilience, and innovation, you’ll gain the skills needed to address the challenges of modern infrastructure, from climate change to urbanisation. The course covers key areas such as structural engineering, geotechnics, hydraulics, and building information modelling (BIM), providing a solid technical foundation alongside practical, hands-on experience.

From day one, you’ll be treated as a trainee engineer, gaining all the benefits of a civil engineering degree apprenticeship but with even more expertise. You'll engage in project-based learning where you can plan, build, and test your own prototypes. You’ll have access to resources such as the Ken Swift Manufacturing Centre, the Mechanical Engineering Workshop, and the Material Lab for materials testing. The Acoustic Wind Tunnel Lab allows practical learning in fluid dynamics, while the Robotic Lab and HIVE immersive technologies provide cutting-edge tools for project-based work and simulations. These state-of-the-art facilities ensure you gain the practical experience needed for a successful career in civil engineering.
