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!

BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering

"Civil Engineering at The University of Manchester has been interesting. The modules are diverse and engaging; we've covered materials ranging from project management to highly technical subjects. We had one module where we designed a structure to compete with other groups for a reward, and another where we went on a four-day field trip. It is always exciting to see what each module has in store for us, and it rarely disappoints."
