Civil Engineering

Advantages: Good lecturers, facilities, close to amenities
Disadvantages: Sheffield, if youve never been visit to make sure you like the city.

...I am currently studying at the University of Sheffield on the postgraduate course, Environmental Management of Urban Land and Water. #About the department The Civil and structural engineering courses have been rated as the 2nd best in the country for the second year running in the guardian.

Although any comments about the department in general will still apply as we share the same facilities. ~ Lecturers' Lecturers who have taught me are all part of the Groundwater Protection and Restoration Group (GPRG), this is a large research group which combines international quality scientific research, supported by engineering applications and wide dissemination.

What I especially like is the accessibility of my lecturers, members of staff and other students. The staff are friendly and approchable and make learning about Engineering a joy. Plymouth, itself, is a very nice town. The university is located such that just about everything one requires is within easy reach. They are good pubs, clubs, restaurants and loads of other recreational activities within walking distance of the campus and the nearby districts where most studenys live.

Bolton itself it a great little town, close to the big city amenities of Manchester and yet everything you need is here in the town itself. The nightlife is outstanding with a wide variety of bars, pubs and clubs, together with a newly... Read review
