Civil engineers create, improve and protect the infrastructure that supports everyday life. Gain the skills to successfully plan, manage and implement major engineering projects, and open up exciting career opportunities, with a civil engineering degree.

Designed around real-world problem solving, and delivered from our new £65 million engineering hub, our accredited BEng pathway builds your knowledge to an advanced level. Initially focusing on structures, surveying and project planning, you will progress to study water resources, geotechnics and seismic engineering.

With a focus on your future, you will also develop transferable skills and learn about the decision-making methods used by industry. You also have the option to include an industry placement year, where you can gain additional workplace skills and boost your employability once you graduate.

Located at the heart of the property and construction market, Salford is a great place to study civil engineering. We take advantage of our amazing location at the heart of Greater Manchester to visit nearby world-famous civil engineering projects, such as the first ever canal and passenger railway line which means we have strong industry links.

Collaboration is core to our values, so we strive to embed this throughout your studies so that you gain practical context to your studies. You will experience group projects that will build your confidence and capabilities in team working, problem-solving and communication - all desirable skills for real-world engineering careers.
