About

CivSoc is the society for all those involved in the civil and coastal engineering courses, or those who just love bridges! We organize a variety of talks and site visits in order to enhance your learning, help you start out on the path to chartership and to get a more real-world view of the industry. We also try to ensure that our members have access to all the academic support and resource

s they need to get through their degree. As well as the academic side we also have a great social calendar ranging from nights out on the town to inter-society sports leagues to help you get to know your course mates and get the most out of your time in Plymouth. New this year is the "Lady Engineers' Society" - our pilot night last year went down a storm, so watch this space....

Socials

This year we have a programme of fortnightly socials for everyone to get together and meet students from other years - it's always helpful to have contacts when you're looking for a job or struggling with that piece of coursework! These range from traditional nights out and barbecues to a trip to every engineer's mecca... yup, we're going to Diggerland! Events

We have a diverse programme of talks from practising engineers - upcoming speakers range from graduate structural engineers to company directors and CEOs. These events provide an opportunity to start forming your professional network, and to hear about the industry and potential career paths from people who are currently at the centre of the industry. On the practical side, we run site visits to local construction projects to ensure that everyone has a chance to see how stuff really works.

Thank you so much for having me CivSoc. I’ve loved my time at Plym Uni but now it would seem it is time to become a “real adult” in a world that’s probably about to go into a major recession - bring on the challenge.
Charley is your new President and also the ICE Ambassador on Campus. He will do an amazing job and bring so much enthusiasm. But he needs the enthusiasm to be matched by you guys - he needs you to do his job effectively! You’ll get out what you put in!
Good luck with the rest of your studies and I’m sure we’ll bump into eachother in the industry in the future.

Hello guys, hope everyone is dealing OK with the situation with university closing.

A few of Master's students are happy to give any advice or answer questions about the course or any coursework any earlier years might have.

Feel free to comment and we will add you into a group chat.

Unfortunately HPC have decided to take the precautionary measure of reducing the number of external visitors to the construction site and our visit is therefore cancelled. We are hoping the visit will be re-arranged in the future but obviously this depends on Government advise to HPC.

PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITY!! Jacobs are offering a placement year in Dubai. Apply by sending your CV to the included email address.

Placement will allow you to put what you’ve learnt into practice and develop brand new skills. Those that have completed a placement year generally do considerably better in their final years.
