Having studied Civil Engineering at Loughborough, you will be well-equipped to work in any sector of the construction industry and the wider industry both in the UK and overseas.
Our Civil Engineering degree is strongly analytical and will equip you to work in many industries and sectors. Most of our students remain in the construction sector, working for a range of companies on a wide variety of projects. Engineers have some of the top-earning starting salaries due to their unique and specialist skillset. Chartered Engineers command even higher salaries.
Our strong links with industry, our sponsorship scheme and the high uptake of students taking a year's industrial placement means most of our students are able to secure graduate-level jobs either directly from the year out or early in their final year.
Careers Fair
The School holds its own Careers Fair. In recent years, over 50 companies have attended the Careers Fair to employ our students. This includes major consulting and contracting companies in the UK, as well as more local and specialist firms. Other major employers who employ Civil Engineers, as well as other graduates, also attend the University-wide careers fair.
