A professionally accredited civil engineering degree combining core engineering theory with practical skills valued by employers. The programme develops engineering science, design, modelling, materials and the development of safe practical solutions. At undergraduate level, the course develops subject knowledge progressively alongside practical, analytical and transferable skills.
This 36-month undergraduate route concentrates on structures, materials and infrastructure systems, engineering analysis, design and modelling, safe and sustainable infrastructure delivery. The course record does not promise a placement, so students should judge it primarily by its curriculum, teaching approach and project opportunities.
Course focus
What you can expect to explore
- Structures, materials and infrastructure systems
- Engineering analysis, design and modelling
- Safe and sustainable infrastructure delivery
- Apply mathematics and science to engineering problems.
Skills development
Capabilities you can build
- Engineering calculation
- Design and modelling
- Technical problem-solving
- Project communication
The balance of technical, academic and professional skills depends on the modules and assessments offered for your intake.
Learning experience
How you may learn
- Practical, laboratory, studio, simulation or supervised activities where appropriate to the discipline.
