The BE (Hons) Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering degree at University College Cork is designed for curious and inventive individuals passionate about solving real-world problems and shaping the built environment. You will explore how science and engineering principles are applied to plan, design, and construct essential infrastructure, from roads and bridges to water and energy facilities, while actively considering environmental sustainability. This undergraduate programme is ideal if you enjoy mathematics and science and want to contribute to societal needs by creating resilient and efficient systems, applying principles of fluid mechanics and materials science.
This full-time, on-campus degree is studied over four years, providing a comprehensive education through a blend of core modules and practical application. You will engage in design studios, learn advanced computational methods, and explore areas like structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, and environmental hydrodynamics. In your final year, you will undertake a significant BE Research Project, applying your accumulated knowledge to a complex engineering challenge. Graduates will be well-prepared for diverse career paths in civil, structural, and environmental engineering consultancies, construction firms, and public sector organisations.
