Summary
This course offers a broad-based knowledge in civil engineering covering geotechnical, structural and water engineering, giving you the skills to become an effective civil engineer.
**Course description**
This course offers a broad-based knowledge in civil engineering covering geotechnical, structural and water engineering, placing an equal emphasis on both analysis and design. You'll dissect these three areas and their interconnections, giving you the skills to become an effective civil engineer.
The core modules give you a grounding in engineering analysis and design. In the second semester, you can follow your interests and choose from a list of specialist modules.
Our department is research-led, meaning you’ll be taught about the latest ideas and concepts within the field, while the advanced research project provides you with an opportunity to explore a current issue in civil engineering in much greater detail.
You'll be equipped to work on strategies to remedy problems such as making our construction practices more sustainable and efficient, ensuring a safe and clean water supply for future generations, or tackling coastal flooding and groundwater pollution.
**Accreditation**
This degree is accredited as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired a partial CEng accredited undergraduate first degree. See the Joint Board of Moderators website for more details.

| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree (BEng, MEng, BSc) in civil or structural engineering or another appropriate engineering or science subject. You will need a strong background and high previous performance (equivalent to 2:1) in at least one structural engineering-related module, at least one geotechnical engineering-related module and at least one water engineering-related module. We'll consider your application if you have appropriate professional qualifications and work experience, but you'll need a strong background in the areas covered on the course. English language requirements: Overall IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent. |
