The engineers that made the world
From the rebuilding of inner cities to remarkable constructions like the Channel tunnel, the world is full of building and infrastructure projects that couldnt happen without civil engineers. This course has been developed with input from our Industrial Advisory Panel to give a practical design-orientated course which will equip you with the skills and qualifications you need to join the construction industry.
On this course you will learn a huge range of engineering principles including fluid mechanics, engineering surveying and structural design and analysis. Our students have access to software that will allow you to design and analyse civil engineering problems, as well as communication via presentations, ethics and legal responsibilities and how the industry operates as a team within practice.
If you intend to do a part-time degree at LSBU, we advise taking the HNC route, as it is closely integrated into our degree programmes. Year 2of the HNC is also designed for graduates from other fields, now working in civil engineering.
