CIVIL ENGINEERINGAT LEEDS MAKINGA DIFFERENCE
Do you want to change the world around you?
Do you want to play a vital role in improving ourphysical environment?Do you want a challenging and rewarding career?
As a civil engineer you will play an
instrumental role in planning, designing,
constructing, maintaining and managing
the physical environment around us.
Including buildings and structures,
transport systems or, water collection,
treatment and distribution.
So, to be effective, it is important foryou to understand how structures
function, how materials behave and how
individuals, and society at large, affect
and influence your work. Amongst other
factors it is also vital that as an engineer
you, in turn, consider the impact of
your work on the environment. You will
also need to have a sound knowledge
of finance and project management as
many civil engineering projects are both
costly and complex.
Civil Engineering is, in fact, one of
the most diverse professions around.
Graduates go on to become involved in
everything from planning and designing
transport systems to enhancing
the energy efficiency of buildings
or undertaking the treatment and
restoration of contaminated sites.

Most of our degrees are integrated
masters (MEng/BEng) degrees providing
you with great breadth and depth of study.
You can graduate after 3 years with a
BEng degree or continue for another year
to complete the MEng which provides you
with the necessary academic qualification
on the route to Chartered Engineer status,
the full preferred engineering qualification.
The MEng is, in fact, the most direct way
of meeting the educational requirementsfor qualification as a Chartered Engineer.
BEng graduates who wish to achieve
Chartered status will need to undertake
extra study after graduation.
The first and, to a certain extent, the
second years of your studies are broadly
common, the third year is when your
options really open up. A choice of
modules means that you can tailor the
course to reflect your interests and
career plans. In the fourth year an
individual project comprises nearly half
the final year work load.
Civil and Structural Engineering,MEng/BEng
Civil and Structural Engineering(Europe), MEng
Civil and Structural Engineering(International), MEng
The Civil and Structural Engineering
courses offer a broadly based scheme
of study covering the major areas of
civil engineering (structures, fluids,
geotechnics, materials, communications,
environmental impact, surveying,
mathematics, etc) with a focus on
design. These courses have formed
the core of the School over the past 60
years and there is a strong demand for
our graduates. Most find employment
in contracting and consulting whilst
others choose other professions such as
finance, teaching and management. The
flexibility of the courses is particularly
appealing, and you can tailor the course
to reflect your interests and career
plans. All three courses are accredited
by the Institutions of Civil and Structural
Engineers. If you choose the Europecourse you spend the third year of the
MEng at an approved university in the
EU (outside the UK) being taught in the
local language enabling you to develop
your language skills, an attribute valued
by many employers. Students have
been to France, Germany, Portugal and
Spain. However, placements in other EU
countries are also possible.
If you select the International course you
will spend the third year of the MEng at
Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Architectural Engineering,MEng/BEng
Architectural Engineering(International), MEng
Leeds was the first university in the UK
to offer Architectural Engineering as a
degree course and it has been running
very successfully for over 40 years. The
course is designed to produce engineers
who understand and can take part in the
design of buildings from an architectural
perspective, while at the same time
having a firm grounding in civil and
structural engineering. Areas of studyinclude architectural history and theory
and building services as well as the core
civil and structural engineering
modules.
Our graduates are in high demand from
industry, especially from companies
which are multi-disciplinary, and this
includes many of the major consulting
firms. The third year of the International
MEng course is spent at a university
in the USA, for example, the School
of Architectural Engineering in
Pennsylvania State University. If you
take the MEng route you can apply
for exemption from part 1 of the ARB
qualification and the success rate of
this is over 80%. The course is also
accredited by the Institutions of Civil and
Structural Engineers, which will help
you gain Chartered Engineer status after
graduation.
Civil Engineering with Construction
Management, MEng/BEng
Civil Engineering with Construction
Management (International), MEng
These courses, while coveringthe core subject areas of civil andstructural engineering, have afocus on management, especiallyconstruction management. You will studyfundamental and general managementrelated to human, environmental,financial, technical and legal aspectsand the final year project is managementbased. Both courses are accredited bythe Institutions of Civil and StructuralEngineers.
Students on the International coursespend the third year at an internationaluniversity chosen for its strength inmanagement studies such as theUniversity of Alberta in Canada, ArizonaState University, Georgia Tech in Atlantaand the University of Singapore.
Civil and Environmental Engineering,
MEng/BEng
Consideration of the environmental
impact of Civil Engineering works
forms a part of all the courses offered
by the School, but this course focuses
on those areas of Civil Engineering
which have a major impact on both
the human and natural environment
and in which the University of Leeds
and the School of Civil Engineering
have a special expertise. These include
public health engineering (including
water supply, wastewater treatment,
waste disposal, recycling, contaminatedland and pollution control), energy
use in buildings and construction, and
transport engineering and planning.
Fundamentals of environmental
science are also studied. The course
was designed to respond to major
developments in the profession such
as dealing with contaminated sites,
minimising environmental impact and
improving the environment, which are
of critical importance. It is accredited
by the Institutions of Civil and Structural
Engineers, which will help you gain
Chartered Engineer status after
graduation.

interview also gives you the opportunity to
discuss your application with a member of
staff. We appreciate that not all applicants

It is important that you feel happy about
your choice of course and university. Do
not hesitate to ask for further information
which will help you make the right
choice. All students should also read the

The Prospectus gives information on
Undergraduate degree courses and life

special version for international students.
