Foundation Entry

Our Civil Engineering course is founded on strong industry links in a region that boasts a wide range of cutting-edge engineering and technology.

As a civil engineer you’ll become a part of a dynamic, fast-growing industry with the potential to develop your career across the globe.

This course will equip you with the principles and concepts of engineering, underpinned by a sound knowledge and understanding of scientific principles.

You’ll be taught by research-informed teaching staff working at the top of their profession and benefit from state-of-the-art laboratories and digital teaching facilities within the University’s Engineering Innovation Centre. 

This course offers an optional 48-week sandwich placement in industry for full-time students between Year 2 and Year 3. After completing the requirements of our BEng course (which normally involves three years of full-time study) you can choose to take on an additional year of advanced study to gain the MEng qualification.

A three-year degree qualification typically comprises 360 credits and each 20 credits (a standard module) equates to 200 hours of study.

Modules comprise a mixture of lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical sessions and independent study.

Independent study is an important aspect of your degree course. The exact combination of study time will be detailed within your module descriptors, and will depend on your options.

Throughout the course you’ll study:

The properties of construction materials and their applications
The properties of fluids and their applications
How engineering structures and systems work
Sustainable use of resources on projects
Design, construction and usage of civil engineering systems.

After completing three years of study (and meeting the requirements of our BEng Civil Engineering degree) you can opt to continue studying for an additional year of advanced study to gain an MEng qualification.

During your final year, on the MEng course, you’ll get involved in integrated design projects, exploring how to manage your projects efficiently and effectively and looking at specialisation in design and construction of unusual civil engineering systems.
