Career opportunities

Civil engineers are creative problem solvers who tackle some of the world's biggest challenges. From the world's tallest buildings to resilient water supplies in developing countries, civil engineers work on the design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure. This puts them in a prime position to shape the world around us, and protect and enhance our environment through the sustainable use of resources.

Careers are varied, with opportunities both in the UK and overseas. Work in areas like structural design, water, power, road or railway infrastructure engineering, business planning and cost forecasting. With the relevant work experience, you could become an Incorporated Engineer.

Many graduates continue studying on MSc courses, either full-time or part-time alongside their Initial Professional Development. Several recent graduates have secured research studentships to complete an Engineering Doctorate or PhD.
