    Course Summary

    Liverpool John Moores University’s Civil and Offshore Engineering MEng program is highly respected by employers and students alike. Employers appreciate the school’s dedication to teaching quality and to turning out highly employable, informed and practically-minded graduates. Students like the opportunity for paid professional placement, the amazing career prospects they gain, and the university’s top of the line facilities. In fact, these are just a few of the reasons students gave LJMU’s Civil Engineering programs a 94% student satisfactory rating in 2014.

    This program offers a year’s paid placement at one of the university’s industrial or commercial partners. This will be a great opportunity for you to test your academic skills in the real world, and to begin making the contacts that will help define your professional career. The fact that you’ll typically be paid quite a bit more for the year than is typical for someone without a degree qualification is also a nice feature.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
