Civil Engineering at Swansea University

Civil Engineering at Swansea University gives you a strong grounding in the design and analysis of Civil Engineering structures. You will develop complex problem-solving skills, gain the ability to sketch and model engineering solutions, and become comfortable preparing technical reports. As you progress, your developing analytical abilities will combine with hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment, establishing skills that are vital to securing employment in the civil engineering industry.

These courses offer you the opportunity to spend a YEAR IN INDUSTRY (UCAS H202), in the UK or overseas, giving valuable workplace experience as well as a salary that is currently over £15,000 on average. You will learn about current design practices and the latest engineering standards. We will nurture your computer modeling skills by encouraging you to develop your own software to analyze real-world civil engineering problems.
You will benefit from working with advanced facilities including high-grade laboratories for structures teaching and materials testing. Our fluids laboratory has a five-metre experimental flume and a geomechanics laboratory. You can also use our sophisticated high-speed cameras for strain analysis and 3D imaging.
