Civil Engineering, BEng (Hons), with industry placement

Civil engineering plays a vital role in advancing sustainable societal development, encompassing planning, construction, water supply, and coastal defence. Students gain expertise in designing innovative solutions for built environments, infrastructure, and urban challenges, alongside essential management and teamwork abilities for industry success. The program begins with foundational engineering science and civil engineering principles in the first two years, introducing design skills through workshops and projects. In the third year, students delve deeper into highway and traffic engineering, structural stability, geotechnics, and complete an individual project, with an optional industrial placement year offering hands-on experience as a trainee engineer.The curriculum includes modules such as Introduction to Engineering Design, Structural Analysis, and Geotechnical Engineering across three years. Assessment combines written examinations, coursework including problem-solving exercises and laboratory reports, and oral presentations, with the industrial placement evaluated through a reflective report. The course is accredited by professional bodies like the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, ensuring recognition of qualification quality.
