Civil and Environmental Engineering

About

Our civil and environmental engineering degree will develop your technical skills alongside your knowledge of contemporary issues. The course is professionally accredited and informed by the expertise of leading industry consultants and businesses. You will gain a full understanding of the key civil and environmental engineering disciplines, including structures, water engineering, highway engineering and geotechnics. At the end of the course, you will complete a work-based project to gain experience of applying your knowledge in a professional environment. This course has been accredited by the following professional bodies: Accredited by the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited by Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited by the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited by the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

This professionally accredited course will provide you with the key analytical and practical skills and knowledge you need to become a chartered civil or structural engineer. We will show you how to think about problems from a sustainability point of view. This approach will help to prepare you for the ever-changing needs of the building sector. You will benefit from being taught by industry experts at the forefront of civil and environmental engineering research. Their expertise will give you access to current knowledge of issues and developments in the field. In your first year, you will study core areas such as structural mechanics, civil engineering practice and mathematics for civil engineers, as well as computer-aided design (CAD). The following year you will move on to fluid mechanics, highway engineering, soil mechanics, design of steel/masonry structures and other important aspects of construction. In your final year, you will complete a work-based structural design project. Employers often seek graduates with hands-on experience, so by taking on these challenges, you will enhance your career prospects in engineering. Alongside your analytical skills and core knowledge of engineering principles, we will help you to develop the qualities you need to succeed in your chosen career. The accreditation is on behalf of the Engineering Council to fully meet the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer. Having the registration will ensure that your qualification will be valued throughout the industry.

How to Apply

You can apply online at any time by following the link below. Our application form will ask you for some information about your previous qualifications or experience, references, and how we can contact you. In addition, you are required to submit a start-up idea pitch. This 500-word (max) document should clearly outline the following three aspects: a brief description of your business idea that you want to further develop during your MA studies in what capacity you have worked on the business idea so far (eg has this developed from your final year project during your undergraduate degree? Are you running the business already out of your living room? etc) where you expect the business to go by the end of the MA programme (specific objectives for the 12 month period). Please upload this document along with your online application. Based on your application form and the start-up idea pitch, you will be invited to attend a telephone interview.
