Hide-Minimum Entry Requirements
Applicants must have achieved an overall merit 2 (50 – 59%) or higher in a level 7 BEng Civil Engineering course or equivalent.

They must also have obtained 70% or higher in ordinary degree level mathematics module or a pass in bridging mathematics to bring the student to the requisite standard. Bridging mathematics is offered to students by our technological university. For those who have not achieved 70% in the final (award) year of their level 7 course, a week-long bridging maths course will be held in the TU in late

August with an exam at the end of the week. A pass (50%) in this exam will qualify as meeting the mathematics entry requirement for the course.

Hide-What is this course about?
This course offers a rich learning experience in state-of-the art facilities. You will build on earlier studies and experience to delve further into areas of structures, materials, geotechnics, water, management, traffic and environmental engineering. Modules are delivered in an exciting and challenging blend of tutorials, laboratories and lectures.

Assessment is broad-based and employs reports, design projects, presentations, posters, interviews and exams. Integral to the course is an industrial placement, which offers invaluable experience, while research projects can be conducted alongside postgraduates and research active staff/companies. Several have led to papers being published in journals and presented at international conferences.

Why take this course?
Civil engineering is a diverse, challenging and rewarding career. Civil engineers have the opportunity to work in a broad spectrum of roles, including design, construction and management of a diverse range of typically large projects, contributing to the development of societies and economies. These include renewable energy infrastructure, water and coastal structures, bridges, tunnels, roads, rail, airports and major buildings.

Civil engineers are at the forefront of meeting the challenges of climate change by developing sustainable materials and construction methods, improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions, and developing structures such as flood defences, green/passive buildings, energy harvesting plants, etc. This means that the industry is fast-moving and evolving rapidly.

This course is delivered by a committed, highly-qualified faculty with up-to-date industrial experience and a growing reputation for excellence in research, meaning you will be exposed to the very latest developments in the field.
