Civils Summer Programme 2026

Over six weeks, our Civils Summer Programme gave students from across the UK valuable insight into the world of civil engineering. Through sessions led by Curtins professionals and industry experts, participants explored engineering careers, digital delivery, major project development, sustainability, climate resilience and professional development.

Students gained first-hand experience through project case studies including Liverpool Waters and White City Living, collaborative workshops, networking opportunities and practical engineering challenges. The programme also covered emerging technologies, sustainable design principles, graduate careers and personal branding, helping participants develop both technical knowledge and professional skills.

The programme concluded with a keynote from ICE President David Porter, recognition of our Blog/Vlog Challenge winners and a celebration of another successful year inspiring the next generation of engineers.
