º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Civil & Structural Engineering
Who we are
Founded in 1917, Civil & Structural Engineering at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½, has a strong research history in fundamental areas such as structures and water.
Our research
We're one of the best in the UK for research excellence according to the last Research Excellence Framework (2021) and we’re justifiably proud of our teaching and research, which goes beyond the traditional areas of the profession. We’re well known for our work in structural fire engineering, earthquake engineering, blast engineering, flood prediction and prevention and leakage management. But civil and structural engineering is no longer just about the built environment above and below ground. We have a responsibility and passion to address emerging global engineering challenges, and our growing expertise in resilient infrastructure, sustainability and carbon-neutral construction, energy generation & storage, digital technologies, characterisation of new materials, and managing risk and hazards, means we’re dedicated to making the world a better place and to producing engineers who will build a better future. Our research is organised into five themes:
- Water Engineering
- Structural Engineering
- Blast and Impact
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Resources, Infrastructure, Systems and Built Environments (RISE)
Our teaching
We're passionate about providing an outstanding engineering education and our academic staff dedicate their professional lives to their research and the impact they have on all our futures. This passion feeds directly into our teaching, which means students will be taught by the best.
Our degrees are industry-relevant, making students highly employable, and ensuring they become the kind of engineer the world needs right now; forward-thinking, interdisciplinary, environmentally conscious, and capable of the kind of complex thinking our rapidly changing society needs.
