INTRODUCTION
Civil Engineering is a branch in engineering which deals specifically with construction of
houses, buildings, dams, roads etc. It is a branch which is in high demand among the students
because of the employment opportunities which it offers to them after completing their
graduation (Barrias, Casas and Villalba, 2016).
MAIN BODY
Reasons for studying civil engineering
There are various reasons to study civil engineering. These reasons are stated as follows-
 Expertise- By studying civil engineering students can gain the required skills and
competencies. Also, the reason for choosing HND College London for it is that it allows
the students to develop their skills and competencies as required by the course.
 Exposure- By studying civil engineering the students can gain high-level of exposure in
their relevant field. The reason for choosing HND College London is that it allows the
students to get that exposure.
 High Demand- There is a high demand of those students who become civil engineers.
This is one of the reasons why they are attracted towards the court. HND College London
prepares its students to meet the demands and expectations of the industry.
 Job opportunities- There are various types of job opportunities available for the students
after they complete graduation in civil engineering (Yan, Kasal and Huang, 2016).
Therefore, HND College London prepares them for these job opportunities and they are
able to earn a higher level of income after they complete their studies. Thus this is
another reason why the students are attracted towards pursuing civil engineering.
Career options for students after completing graduation
There are various career options which are available to the students once they complete
their graduation in civil engineering. They are discussed in detail as follows-
 Higher studies- The students can go for higher studies in the field of civil engineering.
They can do so by completing their post-graduation in this field. This will give them
opportunities to target premium-segment jobs. They can earn a higher-level of income in
the future.
 Internship- The students can also go for internship training after they complete their
education in civil engineering. They can gain significant experience by doing internship.
 Skill Training- The students can go for skill training for the purpose of enhancement of
their skills and competencies. They can do after completing their education in civil

engineering. This can give them an opportunity to target good job opportunities in the
future offering them higher-level of income.
 Job Opportunities- The students can look for job opportunities after they complete their
education in civil engineering. They can find jobs according to their skills and
capabilities. This will allow them to earn a higher-level of income in the future and thus
gain relevant experience in their field.
CONCLUSION
It can be concluded that Civil Engineering is a branch in engineering which has a high-
demand among the students. This is so because of the benefits it offers to them. There are
various reasons for studying it. Also, there are different career options available to the students
once they finish their education.
