At Bristol you will have access to our world-class laboratory facilities, including the most advanced earthquake shaking table in Europe. The first two years provide a strong foundation in engineering, including mathematics, structures, soil and fluid mechanics, computing and surveying, as well as optional units. In your third year you will undertake a major research project and continue to develop key professional skills. Design is central to the course and this is reflected in the projects you will undertake. In the first year you will develop a solution to an open-ended problem, such as designing and making a model bridge. The second year includes steel work, reinforced concrete and geotechnical design. Among other activities in the third year you will design a water supply system.
