Engineering underpins almost every aspect of modern life. The engineers we’ve taught, and the engineers that join us, create solutions which protect and restore our environment, develop technologies to measure and map our local communities, and make important contributions to designing, constructing and maintaining a diverse range of infrastructure.

Our programmes reflect this wide remit, with our undergraduate degrees encompassing the full breadth of civil engineering, from structures and geomatics to earthquakes and transport. At postgraduate level, our students can choose from over twenty specialised programmes and routes, in disciplines as divergent as engineering for international development, geospatial sciences and urban railways. What links all our education provision, and indeed all our research, is our focus on people; for example, a focus on which engineering solutions are appropriate in different cultural contexts, and what’s the optimum way for your commute home to be planned, managed, and hopefully stress-free. 

At the forefront of engineering development, CEGE research benefits from staff who are leaders in their fields. Working with other academics, industry partners and local and national government, CEGE produces world-class research and expertise, with our staff often called upon to provide detailed knowledge to the media, industry and policy makers.
