About

Course overview

Why you should study this course

Foundation year

Supports you to gain the academic skills required for degree-level study.
Provides a grounding in key areas of civil engineering and mathematics.

Degree

Practical activities and application of knowledge through project-led learning in design project modules.
Exercises in the Simulation Centre⁴ (a full-scale simulated construction environment) to experience real challenges of construction management in a controlled environment and to develop professional and leadership skills.
Mandatory field trip² comes at no extra cost to you and aims to enhance your global awareness and experience.
Several optional modules are available to allow you to tailor your course to your specific interests, for example, 'Renewable Transport', 'Environmental Hazards' or 'Nature-Based Solutions' among others.
Group project work with students from other construction and environment-related courses such as Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management BSc (Hons), Architectural Technology BSc (Hons) and geography, to develop attributes and skills required in a multi-disciplinary team.

Career

Careers and opportunities

The aims of this course are that graduates should have the ability to:

work collaboratively with other construction disciplines in the development of engineering solutions through critical evaluation and reflection, and effectively communicate proposals using a variety of media to suit different audiences
demonstrate awareness of the conflicting demands of clients, stakeholders and other construction professionals in the planning and execution of appropriate inter-disciplinary design solutions
recognise and respond to social, environmental, economic, security and ethical considerations in an international context
undertake interdisciplinary teamwork in a respectful and inclusive manner and effective self-management and development
conduct independent thinking, critical reflection, and individual initiative as the basis for research, innovation and lifelong professional learning to enhance their skills and knowledge throughout their careers
identify, analyse and solve engineering problems and apply their knowledge, technical and practical skills creatively and effectively, as required for a successful career as a Chartered Civil Engineer.

Graduates from this course should be well-suited to working in a range of Civil Engineering consultancies, contractors or client organisations and they will have a sound base to ultimately become Chartered Civil and Environmental Engineers, if they choose.
