OUT IN THE FIELD: MEET OUR LECTURERS
One of the best things about being a Civil Engineer is getting the chance to get out into the field yourself.
Hear from two of our lecturers, Mojgan Hadi Mosleh and Meini Su, as they talk about the benefits of studying a practical course, and our Lake District field trip!
"Civil at Manchester has lots of connections with other engineering subjects and environmental projects going on - like the Tyndall System. Look it up!”
“We have a HUGE engineering building that supports our needs all throughout study - hopefully even more so now with even newer labs on the way.”
“One thing I will say, is your lecturers literally write your exams. Listen to the wisdom and guidance they give you!”
BUILDING YOUR CAREER IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
We thought it might be useful to bring together industry experts to answer some of the questions our students and graduates ask us most.
