Course overview
Civil Engineering is everything you see that’s been built around us, the kind of things we take for granted everyday but would find life hard to live without: roads and railways, schools and hospitals or water and power supplies.
Civil engineers design, create, connect and change the world, making places work for the people that live there, and working on projects that can make a real difference to people’s lives.
Engineering students at Warwick develop an in-depth understanding of the classical principles of Engineering by following a general engineering programme for the first four terms. If you then choose to specialise in Civil Engineering, you will develop expertise in the fundamental principles of analysis, design, sustainability and safety. This will enhance the quality of life for present and future generations.
Study abroad
You may choose to take an intercalated year in industry, research or study abroadLink opens in a new window between years two and three (BEng and MEng) or between years three and four (MEng only).
If you choose to take an intercalated year this will be reflected in your degree title, and add a year to your degree programme.

We offer flexible degree programmes that enable you to experience a range of different engineering disciplines before you decide to specialise.
All first year students study a general engineering programme, which is much favoured by industry. In the second year, you will continue to study the same core modules as all other students until the end of term one. You can then specialise, or continue on the general Engineering pathway.
You can also switch from the three-year BEng to the four-year MEng if academic requirements and regulations are met.
Year One
Introduction to Engineering: Professionalism and Practice
What does it mean to be an engineer? Whether you have already decided to pursue a particular discipline, or are still wondering which engineering avenue to take, completion of this module will see you better informed on your direction of study, and equipped with essential tools for studying engineering, such as good communication skills, professionalism and ethical integrity. With a practical focus on demonstrating your skills, you will have time to prepare for internships, future employment and induction to the community of engineers, which embraces those working in academic, industrial and commercial environments.

Systems Modelling, Simulation and Computation
Systems modelling is an essential skill that underpins all engineering disciplines, allowing complex engineering problems to be approximated using mathematical models. Systems modelling provides necessary information to make decisions in the design and development of engineering solutions or to investigate systems that are too costly, difficult or unethical to investigate physically. This module focuses on the design and programming of models from first principles by the application of mathematical techniques and avoidance of modelling errors. You will learn how to: represent multi-domain systems graphically, derive models from data, construct a simulation model to predict system responses, and consider design principles that ensure robust model development (covering verification and validation techniques).

Concrete Structures
The design of concrete structures is a mainstream activity of professional civil engineers, and represents a significant economic activity: concrete structures are of such scale and complexity that they require extensive management for their procurement, maintenance and reuse or demolition. You will learn the principles of limit state design, and the margins of uncertainty associated with loading, material properties and type of structural action. Through analysis of the structure and design of concrete sections, you will determine their form and size, and investigate the relationship between design, durability and ease of construction.

Steel Structures
The design of steel structures is a mainstream activity of professional civil engineers, and represents a significant economic activity: steel structures are of such scale and complexity that they require extensive management for their procurement, maintenance and reuse or demolition. You will study the function of structures as load-bearers and the response of members, joints and frames, and propose the form and size of structural elements through sketches, plans and calculations. You will consider alternative structural solutions in the light of client requirements, and evaluate the results of structural analysis in order to satisfy requirements for both design and safety.
