Why Study Civil Engineering?
Civil engineering is probably the best known type of engineering because the work of the civil engineer is clearly visible to us every day. Civil engineering is all about creating, improving and protecting the environment in which we live. It involves the planning, design and construction of facilities that we require for everyday living, industry and transport. Civil engineering also aims to solve environmental issues such as air pollution, coastal protection and waste treatment. As a civil engineer, you will have a creative, diverse and challenging career and will be making a real contribution to the needs of both modern and developing societies all over the world.
Main Areas of Study The programme will develop further the graduate’s skill in core civil engineering areas such as structures, geotechnical engineering, project management and environmental engineering. Written and oral communication will form a significant component of the programme. The programme builds on the practicalyl-based civil engineering skills developed in the Ordinary degree programme and will allow them to be employable, adaptable and flexible in their future careers in the civil engineering profession.
The course aims to produce the next generation of civil engineers, fully equipped to meet the needs of industry and the wider local, national and global community. The focus of the Level 8 programme is sustainable construction using integrated civil engineering technologies and in particular the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM).
Career Opportunities The graduates will possess the technical and managerial skills necessary to enter careers in planning, design, construction, operation or maintenance of the built environment and global infrastructure.
Other Essential Information Entry requirements: Internal progression route for graduates of the Level 7 BEng Civil Engineering programme at GMIT. Direct applicants external to GMIT will also be considered for entry subject to places being available. Selection will be based on academic achievement and review of programme schedule by Programme Board.
Follow-on Studies
Graduates can proceed to the MSc in Environmental systems in GMIT or Masters programmes in other Institutes of Technology and Universities in Ireland and elsewhere. .

105 Eanna Doolin BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering (2011)
In May 2011, I graduated with a BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering. I completed the 3 year BEng (Ord) Civil Engineering course in GMIT in 2009 and decided to undertake the Honours degree in GMIT because I was familiar with the college
and staff and enjoyed the practical nature of the course. In particular, I enjoyed the industrial work placement which we completed in third year of the Ordinary degree. The final two years of the course were very challenging at times. It is only now, being out in the workplace, that I can fully appreciate the tutorials and lectures we received throughout my time at GMIT.
On completion of this course, I moved to London and I am now working with
J.Coffey Construction. Having started out as a Site Engineer, I am now looking after my own projects and my most current project is the Great Northern Hotel in Kings Cross. I have no doubt in my mind, were it not for the excellent mix of both the practical and theoretical tuition received during my time in GMIT, I would not be in the position I am now. The high standards expected by our lecturers prepare each student for a career in Civil Engineering, in which only high standards are accepted. These standards are put in place by lecturers who have invaluable experience and 'know how' of the construction industry and how it operates.
