Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship
Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship
About
Course content
Engineering remains at the heart of the UK economy and the demand for skilled and qualified engineering has never been higher. Our ambition is for our apprentices to graduate with chartered status in sight, having been fully prepared by us to achieve this.
Elements of the apprenticeship will be studied during time at work with the majority of studies taking place in four, two-week blocks, delivered by University of Exeter academic staff.
Throughout the apprenticeship, apprentices will gain more knowledge and experience ensuring they are able to:
- Ensure that projects are completed to the specification and quality needed by clients
- Ensure projects have minimal negative impact on the environment and community
- Manage interfaces between stakeholders associated with the project
- Translate design information to construction teams so they can construct the project effectively and efficiently
Apprentices can expect to be stretched and challenged, but supported throughout their apprenticeship as they focus on building the knowledge, skills and experiences they need to become a professionally qualified engineer.
The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.

Entry Requirements
The University recognises a wide range of international qualifications and equivalencies. If you are studying outside the UK the grading system and level of qualification in your country may not be the same as in the UK.
If you are unsure whether your qualification meets our entry requirements, you can find out more information on our Entry requirements pages, by clicking on the country or region in which you have studied.
Alternatively, you can contact the National Academic Recognition Information Centre (NARIC) or the Admissions Office for further guidance about your qualifications' suitability for entry to our programmes, providing as much detail as possible.
The University recognises this qualification and our programme listings give full details of the grades and subjects required. Our offers are usually based on having achieved or achieving an overall IB Diploma grade or three individual Higher Level subjects at specified grades, and they could also include achieving specific grades in specific subjects.
Applicants taking the International Baccalaureate Career-related programme will be consider where this includes three individual Higher Level certificates or where applicants are undertaking two IB Higher Level certificates and a BTEC Diploma.
Any A-Level subject requirements would need to be met with the HL IB certificates.

Changes to IB Mathematics:
In development for first teaching in September 2019, and first examination May 2021 are the following two new Maths subjects:
- Mathematics: Analysis and approaches HL and SL - Analytic methods with an emphasis on calculus – appropriate for pure mathematicians, and those with an interest in analytic methods. Current calculus option content will form part of the HL course.
- Mathematics: Applications and interpretation HL and SL - Applications and interpretation with an emphasis on statistics and use of technology during assessment – appropriate for social scientists, economists, those with an interest in the applications of mathematics and how technology can support this. SL will be appropriate for students who would previously have taken Mathematical Studies SL. Current HL content from the statistics and discrete options will form part of the HL course.
What does that mean for Exeter?

Our application timeline contains the key dates for each stage of the application process.
Completing your UCAS application
You may apply to up to five institutions and courses. The University of Exeter’s UCAS code is E84 EXETR.
When completing your application, you may find our page on how we assess your application helpful to understand the key indicators we look for in your application.
Courses based at Penryn Campus, Cornwall
If you are applying for a course that is offered at our Penryn Campus, please note that these programmes are indicated by ‘Penryn Campus, Cornwall’ after the title and you should indicate ‘C’ under ‘Campus Code’ in the ‘choices’ section of the application. Check the programme page to see which campus your chosen programme is based at.
Flexible Combined Honours, Modern Languages or Liberal Arts
If you are applying for a Flexible Combined Honours, Modern Languages or Liberal Arts programme, you should clearly indicate the subject areas that you wish to study in the ‘choices’ section of the application.
Documents and evidence
You will be asked to sign a declaration on the application form, which confirms that the information you have given is true, complete and accurate. Discovery of false information or omissions in your application could lead to your offer being withdrawn or, if you have registered with the university, to you being asked to leave.
If you firmly accept our offer of a place, we will require documentary evidence of any qualifications as stated on your UCAS form if these are not verified by UCAS.
We may ask you to provide additional information such as:
- Documentary evidence of your qualifications as stated on your UCAS application (if these are not verified by UCAS)
- Result transcripts
- Academic references
- Information about any alternative qualifications you have.
When you supply this information, please include your Personal Identification Number (PID - the ten-digit number you get when you register to apply via UCAS) or student number and the course(s) you have applied for.
Criminal records declaration and DBS checks
UCAS ask you to declare any relevant criminal convictions in your application. A criminal record will not necessarily prevent you from receiving an offer: each case is considered on an individual basis and will depend upon the nature of the offence. Where an offer is recommended, the offence(s) will be considered by a panel of appropriate University staff.
Disclosure and Barring Service checks
If you are offered a place on a programme which includes working with children or vulnerable adults, you will require a satisfactory enhanced disclosure check via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). For more information please see our Disclosure and Barring Service pages.
Deferred entry
Deferring means applying for a course, then taking a year out before going to university.
We are happy to consider applicants who intend to take a year out between school/college and university. Applicants applying for deferred entry will be considered in the same way as applicants applying for entry without a gap year.
How to apply for deferred entry
In your UCAS application, choose the deferred entry start date when you add the University of Exeter as one of your choices.
For information about deferring your application after you have applied, see 'Changing your year of entry' on the After you apply page.
Applying after the UCAS equal consideration deadline (26 January)
Following the UCAS deadline of 26 January, a number of our programmes will start to close to applicants for first year entry. However, it may still be possible to be considered if you are applying for entry into the second or further years.
If the programme you wish to apply for is showing as closed on UCAS, please contact the Admissions Office for further advice.
Students under 18
We welcome applications from people of all ages and applications will be considered on their individual merits.
If you are offered a place and will be under 18 when your course starts, we will follow certain legislative procedures in order to fulfil our duty of care for students. Policy details can be found on our page for students under 18.
Mature students (over the age of 21)
We welcome applicants who may not have come directly from school or college and who wish to return to education at different stages of their lives.
There is no upper age limit for applications.
However, for certain programmes related to health services, the University has a responsibility to ensure that the investment made by public funds in relation to NHS training is realised in terms of length of service within the health service.
Supporting your application and studies
On our mature students page you’ll find guidance on applying and information on the support we can offer throughout your student journey.
Students with disabilities
If you have a disability, we encourage you to declare your disability in your application and indicate any health or access needs.
This will not be used to assess your application but will help us plan for your support.
We aim to create an environment which welcomes those with physical disabilities and those with unseen disabilities, enabling them to participate fully in university life.
It may be beneficial for you to visit the University before applying; if so, we can arrange informal visits on an individual basis. We can also arrange support for applicants at Offer-Holder Visit Days and interviews (if applicable).
Details of support available during the application process, with the transition to university and throughout your studies can be found on our Students with disabilities page.
