School of Civil Engineering at University of Leeds

Research in the School of Civil Engineering contributes to delivering the infrastructure that we all rely on in everyday life. We have an ethos of working at the interfaces with other disciplines to tackle key societal and technical challenges, and our research has an impact at a global scale.

We have strong partnerships within the University of Leeds, including long-standing collaborations with the Institute for Transport Studies, Robotics at Leeds, the Centre for Global Development, and Leeds Centre for Projects.

We have leadership roles in major initiatives across the University: water@leeds, an interdisciplinary centre for water research, the Institute for High Speed Rail and System Integration, the Centre for Infrastructure Materials, and the Neville Centre of Excellence in Cement and Concrete Engineering.
