Your civil engineering journey starts here


Congratulations! You've earned a place at our school of civil engineering, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you.

If you haven’t already accepted your offer, it’s time to take the next step and start shaping your future.


A world-class education with heart and ambition

We’re proud to be ranked in the top 20 in the UK for Civil Engineering in the UK in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026, The Guardian Good University Guide 2026, and The Complete University Guide 2026.

These aren’t just rankings. They’re a reflection of the quality of teaching, the strength of our research, and the success of our students.

Excellence that matters

90% of our research rated as world-leading or internationally excellent in the latest Research Excellence Framework. This means your lectures, seminars, and assignments are built on the latest thinking and real-world insights

You’ll be learning from experts in areas such as climate resilience, sustainable solutions, advanced materials and digital construction.

A place to grow, learn and belong

University Park is a stunning blend of nature, history, and culture. With acres of green parkland, beautiful historic buildings, and a picturesque boating lake, it’s a truly inspiring place to live and learn.

You’ll have access to specialist facilities including preparation and testing equipment for structures, geotechnics and materials, a fluid mechanics teaching laboratory, CAD/BIM, design studios and state-of-the-art surveying equipment.

 

Shape your journey, your way

You will study the key components of civil engineering theory and learn the skills necessary to become a civil engineer.

We offer a range of modules spanning subjects including hydraulics, construction, structural analysis, mathematical methods and geotechnics


Learning that goes beyond the classroom

You could study at our campus in China or Malaysia, or with a partner institution in locations such as the USA, Canada, or Europe.

This experience will introduce you to new academic environments, teaching styles, and cultural viewpoints. This will broaden your intellectual horizons and develop your critical thinking.

If you’ve opted for a degree with a year in industry, you’ll be earning a salary while gaining hands-on experience. This is a great way to bring your course to life in an active working environment.

Come and see for yourself


Join us for an on-campus experience day and get a real feel for life at Nottingham. You’ll meet your future lecturers, chat with current students, and take part in taster sessions that bring your course to life.


This is more than a degree. It’s your future.

We’re here to support you, challenge you, and celebrate your success, every step of the way. Let’s start this journey together.

And remember, you can chat to our students on The Student Room or contact our friendly Student Enquiries team.
