MEng Civil Engineering at Imperial College London

Civil Engineering is a broad discipline that covers many aspects of our everyday lives, from the provision of safe drinking water to the development of structures that can withstand earthquakes. It aims to improve our quality of life while also protecting the natural environment.

Our Department has strong industry links and excellent facilities for teaching and research, including a range of testing rigs, extensive computing provision, tension and compression machines, and wave generators and tanks.

In the first two years of the course you will take a range of core modules, covering topics such as geotechnics, energy systems, materials, environmental engineering, fluid and structural mechanics, statistics and professional engineering practice. These will provide you with a strong foundation in engineering science and technology, and prepare you for advanced study.

During the final two years, you can continue with a broad programme or tailor your studies to suit your interests through a range of specialist modules covering topics such as transport engineering, coastal engineering and water resources.
