What do you need to do to become a civil engineer?
If you're interested in a university or college course in civil engineering, it's important to make sure that the course you choose is 'accredited'. This means that it meets the Engineering Council's quality and curriculum standards.
Having accredited academic qualifications will make it easier for you to become professionally qualified as a chartered engineer (CEng), incorporated engineer (IEng), or engineering technician (EngTech). Use our course search tool to find accredited courses throughout the UK.
Please see the list below for accredited centres offering engineering degree courses in the region.
