Civil Engineering at Queen’s concerns the planning, design, sustainability and management of our society’s infrastructure. It is a broad discipline taught by staff engaged in high quality industry-linked research rooted in environmental impact considerations. Fields of study include structures, foundations, water engineering and project management. You’ll be tackling some of the biggest challenges of the modern world, such as achieving sustainable living in an increasingly urbanised society. As the demands on resources like water, energy and land increase, there is a strong need for qualified Civil Engineers with the relevant technical skills but who also possess an ethical awareness of the social and environmental context of their work.\ \ The programme produces engineering graduates equipped for professional roles in industry, the professions and public service. It meets the requirements of the Engineering Council's UK-SPEC for MEng degrees and the QAA Engineering Benchmark Statement as part of the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer status.

Civil Engineering also ranks 5th in the UK for Graduate Prospects (Complete University Guide 2026).

I studied maths, physics and geography at A-Level and thought a degree in engineering would allow me to increase and adapt my core knowledge into a career path. I chose Civil Engineering to make a tangible difference in people’s lives and seek international travel opportunities. The Civil Engineering department was encouraging and thought-provoking, connecting lecturers on the forefront of research and innovation with an active student body.\ \ Adam Ewart, Geoman Ltd.
