Program Overview

Civil engineers provide the infrastructure required to sustain life. This includes water and power, roads, railways schools, hospitals, flood protection and the developed city skyline. They provide the technical skills needed to protect both the built and the natural environment.

Civil Engineering was one of the founding degrees at Queen's, making it one of the oldest in the UK and Ireland. Staff lead high-quality research and are recognised for their excellence in teaching.

Placement

Many of our students have gained international work placements through, for example IAESTE.

"I pursued a career as a civil engineer as from an early age I was fascinated by large scale construction projects across the world. Queens University Belfast was a natural fit, as the civil engineering department is recognised as one of the UK leaders in its field. I studied the BEng in Civil Engineering with an industrial placement year. The first two years of the course provided a solid understanding on civil engineering theories and practises. The industrial placement then provided the opportunity to apply these principles and determine if I was to pursue a career in consultancy or contracting. After completing the BEng degree I was able to successfully apply for the M.Sc in Construction and Project Management as I believed this would be the most beneficial option for my chosen career path and has provided the opportunity to pursue chartership."
