Professional and industrial placements Entry requirements and applications About the course Civil engineers play a major role in the development of our environment. They are involved in the design and construction of transport systems such as roads, railways, waterways and also look after our everyday needs such as water supplies and mains drainage. Structures such as sports stadia, bridges, tower blocks, hypermarkets, docks, harbours and even oil rigs, rely on input from civil engineers. As a civil engineer, you will need to combine your knowledge of analysis with practical applications of engineering. City University provides both the academic background and practical experience to set you on the path to become a Chartered Civil Engineer with good job prospects in the UK and overseas.
