University of Portsmouth Civil Engineering Programs

At University of Portsmouth’s civil engineering programs, students will learn to design, construct, operate and maintain infrastructure that supports everything from buildings, transportation, and flood defenses to providing safe drinking water and sanitation. Within the School of Civil Engineering, courses emphasise practical, hands-on learning. Students put theory into practice on field trips where they explore the built and natural environment, and conduct site visits which mirror those done by professional Civil Engineers.

Students can study the viability of coastal defences at Highcliffe, soil erosion on the Isle of Wight, and the longevity of railways at Meon Valley Railway. Exceptional teaching staff of university help in transform their students into graduates who are ready to become successful surveyors and civil engineers, complete with the technical skills and experience demanded by the industry.
