Age 16+

Although you won't have studied civil engineering in school, you will have studied some relevant subjects like maths, design & technology, IT and physics. Geography, geology and economics might also come in handy. You can apply Knowledge of these subjects to new ones you will learn about in a HND, such as:

• 
  Materials
  
• 
  Measurement
  
• 
  Structural mechanics
  
• 
  Civil engineering construction
  
• 
  Civil engineering administration
  
• 
  Investigation and inspection
  
• 
  Environment science
  
• 
  Soils and water
  
• 
  Surveying
  
• 
  Highway design.
  

Most courses are very practical and offer the opportunity to try out academic theories on field trips. You'll be amazed at how quickly you apply the theory of civil engineering and structures to real-life examples.

 'COURSES AT DIFFERENT LEVELS WILL COVER A WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECTS…'

 Age 18+

In the first year of a degree you will probably cover the core subjects of structural, geotechnical and fluid engineering. The main elements will include:

• 
  Theory of structures
  
• 
  Structural mechanics
  
• 
  Structural design
  
• 
  Soil mechanics
  
• 
  Geology
  
• 
  Construction management
  
• 
  Computer methods
  
• 
  Field studies
  

In your later years you will broaden and deepen your knowledge in these areas and have the option of specialising in others, such as:

• 
  Highway construction and maintenance
  
• 
  Traffic and transportation
  
• 
  Structural engineering
  
• 
  Environmental issues
  
• 
  Costal engineering.
  

Because of the number of people now entering higher education, Engineering Council regulations have recently changed to help universities provide engineering courses of different types and levels to suit people with a wide range of abilities and ambitions. Entry qualifications for courses are strict and choosing an accredited course is very important if you want to take the most direct route to professional qualifications. There are now three specific pathways students can take to become a civil of structural engineer:

• 
  Becoming a chartered engineer, by taking an accredited four-year MEng degree and completing carefully controlled training in the workplace
  
• 
  Become an incorporated engineer, through an accredited IEng degree (many new ones are being developed) or an accredited HND/HNC course plus a further year's learning, also called a matching section
  
• 
  Becoming an engineering technician, through an advance GNVQ, NC or ND course.
  

Remember that academic study is just the start of the process towards professional qualifications.

To find our more about routes to qualification and what they mean for you, try to get hold of some university prospectuses or contact relevant professional organisations such as the Institution of Civil Engineers.

 Why Civil Engineering?

Civil engineering offers a flexible, well-rewarded and diverse career with the chance to work and travel all over the world.

 Our society would not work without civil engineering. Infrastructure supports our daily life – roads and harbours, railways and airports, hospitals, sports stadiums and schools, access to drinking water and shelter from the weather. Because it works, we take it for granted. Only when parts of it fail, or are taken away, do we realise its value.

Today, civilisation relies more than ever on teams of inventive people to design, build and maintain the sophisticated environment that surrounds us. People who find they are drawn to civil engineering as a career look to find challenge, self-expression, achievement and personal reward through their work. If you would like to combine your technical knowledge and creative flair to solve problems, civil engineering is an excellent career choice.

 Soon you will be making decisions about your career. We can’t make those decisions for you, but we can offer guidance, advice, information and the opportunity to become a professionally qualified engineer.

 Have a say in what the world will look like

How many jobs affect how our environment looks and works? For many civil engineers, it is the way they can change our surroundings and improve the lives of millions of people that draws them to the profession. They see whole projects through each stage from feasibility to design and implementation.

 Help the developing world

For civil engineers, solving infrastructure problems in the developing world is just as demanding – and rewarding – as solving problems in the developed world.
They are needed after earthquakes, during droughts and at times of war, to help the local population rebuild or maintain the conditions that will keep them alive. If you have a real sense of adventure and a commitment to help those in the greatest need, you could join RedR, an organisation that sends volunteers to disaster areas all over the world. www.redr.org

 International opportunities

Civil engineering offers unparalleled opportunities to work overseas. By becoming professionally qualified, you will be able to enter the international workplace and work abroad for the short or long term.
