Recent Graduate Recruiters’ surveys rate Loughborough as the best overall for Construction and Civil Engineering graduates.

We value your expertise. Please ask us about becoming a Guest Lecturer, to help future professionals learn from your experience. Our students enjoy hearing about current projects, and offers to visit project sites are also very welcome.

Connecting with our specialist knowledge and first-class research facilities can help you to innovate, expand or improve performance. There are many ways for you to engage, and for some of these we are able to help access and leverage funding from other sources.
