Civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering fields and it impacts all aspects of our daily lives. By studying a Civil Engineering MEng(Hons) degree, you could be instrumental in the functioning of many of the structures we rely upon, including skyscrapers and bridges, railways and flood defences.
From mega infrastructure to water transfer schemes, you can make a difference in a way that is important to you. Choose from a wide range of rewarding careers with significant earning potential, many of which will allow you to drive forward the increasingly important sustainability agenda within, for example, the construction, energy, transport, or the environmental sectors.
Graduates with the enhanced MEng level qualification engineering training could become key influencers and industry leaders, overseeing the transformation of our future. The MEng qualification builds on the BEng course, while aiming to enhance your leadership and management skills.
**Why study Civil Engineering MEng(Hons) at University of Huddersfield?**
This Civil Engineering MEng(Hons) degree is designed to create graduates who can communicate effectively, manage projects, and work in a professional team. Within our civil engineering subject area, our degree programmes share the same first year of study, which means you can leave your options open until the start of your second year.
During your first and second year, you'll take part in our problem-based learning initiative, EnABLE (Engineering in an Activity Based Learning Environment). You will work in small teams, solving real civil engineering problems and testing your solutions against other groups in a supportive and friendly competitive environment.
In your third year, you can take an industrial placement and gain real-world experience. In the fourth year, you’ll work on a selected individual research/design project with the support of your academic supervisor.
Civil engineering graduates often find themselves at the heart of technological developments within a wide range of engineering industries. We aim to provide you with strong practical, theoretical, and transferrable skills that will prepare you for an interesting and challenging future as an engineer.
**Professional Bodies**
At Huddersfield, you’ll study the Global Professional Award alongside your degree†, so that you gain valuable qualities and experiences that could help you to get the career you want, no matter what your field of study is.
†full-time, undergraduate first degrees with a minimum duration of three years. This does not include postgraduate, foundation, top-up, accelerates or apprenticeship degrees.
**Why Huddersfield?**
Huddersfield’s vibrant and friendly campus is a great place from which to study, while the town itself offers lots to see and do, with good transport links in and around the area.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
Do you want to be in demand? This might be the degree for you! We are officially short of civil engineers, and so around two thirds of civil engineering graduates start jobs specifically as civil engineers, and starting salaries are well over £25k last year. Demand for civil engineers and related jobs - we're short of all of them - means that good graduates have plenty of options directly related to their degree when they graduate. This is a subject where work experience can be very helpful in getting a job and many students do work for engineering companies while they take their degrees.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.
