Our Department has been ranked top in the world for Civil Engineering in the 2013 QS University Rankings

The QS World University Rankings are widely regarded as the preeminent guide to the relative quality of universities from around the globe.   

I am delighted to say that we have been ranked top in the world for Civil Engineering (up from 6th in 2012), followed by 2. Berkeley, 3. Tokyo, 4. Delft and 5. MIT.   We are the only UK university to be ranked in the top 20 for Civil Engineering – Cambridge  are 22nd, Oxford 28th and UCL 48th.  

The full table is available at: http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-rankings/2013/engineering-civil-and-structural

This is a tremendous reward for the hard work of everyone in the Department and increases our visibility to potential staff, students, employers and research sponsors from around the world.
