Industry links
We run a highly successful industrial placements programme, benefitting both students and employers.
As a joint Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, we work very closely with the best companies to advance the way architecture and civil engineering are carried out in practice.
Our graduates share our vision for a built environment, which is always improving, meeting the changing needs of society.
The engineers and architects we work with lead the way in exciting collaborative working and our research supports the development and implementation of new ideas for the construction industry.
The department is supported by an Industrial Liaison Panel which helps us to keep developing our long term vision, and provides stimulating discussion of and support for the education and research we provide. The Panel membership consists of a wide range of people who are industry leaders of the present and the future.
Placements
Placements in industry and practice are an important part of the education we provide, enabling real achievement and providing invaluable experience.
Further information for employers interested in the scheme can be found on our Faculty placements page.
