QUEEN'S 25 - EPS INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL
Programme Summary:
Civil engineers develop and refine the technical skills and infrastructure essential for sustaining life while protecting both built and natural environments. The Civil Engineering program offers a valuable opportunity to deepen your knowledge and experience in this crucial field. The course will blend theoretical learning with hands-on activities, including design and build projects and laboratory exercises. It will provide a comprehensive overview of net-zero civil engineering. Additionally, participants will gain insights into ongoing research within the school and explore future study opportunities.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the challenges associated with developing sustainable built environment.
- Gain knowledge of tools and their application for evaluating existing and future construction projects.
- Understanding of drivers influencing the pathway to net-zero in the built environment.
- Gain experience in oral presentations.
Lecturer(s): Collective lecturers

World-Class Facilities
Civil Engineering at Queen’s has established itself at the cutting edge of industrial research and design.
As part of the Summer School in Civil Engineering you will visit Strangford Lough Marine Laboratory to explore coastal engineering and interact with industry through research presentations. Most of our class activities are team-based, and thus, you will have opportunities to learn how to work in a team and to collaboratively find out a solution to tackle engineering problems such as Structural Design challenges.
ABOUT THE SCHOOL
SHAKING OUR WORLD, TOGETHER
Civil Engineering belongs to the School of Natural and Built Environment which is the newest school in Queen’s, bringing together our well-established disciplines of Architecture, Civil & Structural Engineering, Geography, Planning, Archaeology & Palaeoecology.
The School supports an exciting set of degree programmes that engage closely with vital cultural, environmental and social issues that shape our world.
