Civil engineering is concerned with the techniques and procedures by which dams and reservoirs, water supply and sewage disposal systems, power stations, ports, offshore works, transport systems, bridges, tall buildings and other structures are planned, designed, built, surveyed, tested, operated, maintained and decommissioned. The course includes a broad range of activities including field courses, individual projects, design work and laboratory work.
This course will:
introduce the principles and context of civil engineering in a range of subject areas to enable students to specialise
develop students' understanding and critical judgement
improve students' abilities in communication and other transferable skills
We have developed excellent facilities with dedicated laboratories for structures, geotechnics and fluid mechanics. We also have an extensive range of surveying equipment; all of which are used for both research and teaching purposes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. With plans for a new strong floor facility for major structural testing, our research will cover a wide range of experimental investigations and predictive numerical modelling studies, supported by the latest in computing and laboratory facilities.
the course structure follows the UK higher education system. It is based on a three-year program with the possibility of spending two years at the University of Nottingham's UK campus.
The University has two buildings designated for international students, building 11 and building 18. All rooms are fully furnished and equipped with a telephone and computer point which enable students to make and receive telephone calls and access the University's data network from their bedrooms.
These are UNNC residences in which students are responsible for providing and cooking their own food. Kitchens or common rooms are provided in which students may prepare their own food, or meals may be bought from the University canteen or cafe on the campus.
Bed linen is provided, and will be changed twice a month free of charge. Students will need to supply their own kitchen utensils. All UNNC student houses are non-smoking, including student bedrooms.
