Course description
Civil engineers plan, design and construct the built environment, ensuring the provision of essential services and infrastructure to improve quality of life.
From buildings to bridges and tunnels, civil engineers construct edifices at the forefront of technology. Our transport systems, water supply, drainage systems, ports and harbours are all examples of essential services where civil engineers provide a critical link between the natural environment and our needs as people.
