Course summary

From developing innovative new construction materials, to investigating the sustainability of managed realignment coastal protection schemes, our civil engineering staff and PhD students are at the leading edge of research into the ways materials, soils, structures and engineered systems respond to forces imposed by the natural environment.The majority of our work has real-world application. Data generated by researchers in our Sustainability and Resilience Engineering Research and Enterprise Group (SuRE) is being used, for example, in the design and redesign of structures in earthquake-prone regions, the smart management of infrastructure assets such as highway bridges, and the geotechnical engineering of foundation systems for wind turbines.We provide Civil Engineering PhD students with opportunities to work across the spectrum of civil engineering, including research which straddles traditional disciplinary boundaries into, for example, geology, physical geography and environmental science. We believe that this interdisciplinary focus provides our students with an appreciation of real-world problems, and ensures that they are highly employable.Apply to 'civil engineering' in the applicant portalKey informationAs a Civil Engineering PhD student, you will benefit from:a supervisory team comprising two to three members of academic staff.
