Civil Engineering Honours Project

Course aim

To provide students with the opportunity to undertake a major research project in a specialist area of civil engineering.

Course content

The Honours project requires an in-depth study of a specific topic in any area of civil engineering, which may be a desktop study but will also usually involve a laboratory or field investigation. Available topics will vary every year. In all cases, students will be assessed as successful in the project if they can demonstrate special knowledge of the topic and provide insights into how that knowledge may be improved.
