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.

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. As a civil engineer, your work will require a diverse skill set, so the course has been designed to ensure you have the cutting-edge knowledge to tackle complex problems in areas such as 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, employing reports, design projects, presentations, posters, interviews, exams, etc. all aligned to real-word examples and situations.

Integral to the course is an extended industrial placement, which offers invaluable ‘hands on’ experience in civil engineering companies, 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 deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and built environment. Civil engineers play an essential role in solving some of the most pressing problems facing humanity, including concerns about planning, transport, energy and the environment. A career in civil engineering allows graduates to make a real contribution to improving people’s everyday lives by planning, designing, constructing and managing large-scale building projects, from roads to skyscrapers, hospitals to wind farms and airports to sea ports.

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 with the needs of society.

The course here 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.
