Employability:

With a degree in civil engineering from the University of East London, you’ll be well placed to land a great job. The high quality of our teaching on the course is widely recognized, and the constant input from industry professionals ensures your studies will be highly relevant to employers once you graduate. You might decide to specialize as a hydraulic engineer, a structural engineer, or a geotechnical engineer. Your decision may be prompted by how your career develops in your first job. You start on the process known as Initial Professional Development (IPD), which usually takes between three and five years. Recent graduates have gone on to work for Balfour Beatty, Transport for London, the Canary Wharf Group, Careys, and Atkins. Others have chosen to work in other professional areas, such as finance, education, marketing, and housing.
