BEng Engineering (Civil)
Entry requirements
A level: Three A Levels at BBC. IB: 32 points with 5, 5, 5 at HL including Mathematics and Physics. In addition for entry to Chemical or Petroleum Engineering Chemistry is required. SL English is also required. SQA Highers: Applicants that present with BBBB will usually receive an unconditional offer. Where we have more applicants than places we may need to ask for more than the minimum so continued engagement in school is recommended.. BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma: DMM. Note: BTEC in Applied Sciences is not normally sufficient on its own for entry into any of our Engineering degrees. Good performance required in Mathematics and Physics. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering A Level Chemistry is required. GCSE English at Grade C/4 is also required. Irish Leaving Certificate: Five subjects at Higher, with Mathematics at H2 and four subjects at H3 (including Physics) Mathematics and Physics are required. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering H3 Chemistry is also required.
About this course
BEng in Civil Engineering, focusing on the infrastructure and environment of the modern world. Core topics include Programming, Circuit Design, Mathematical Modelling, Fieldwork, Project Management, and Engineering Design. The initial two years cover general engineering disciplines before students select a specific specialisation in later study, concluding with a group design project and professional accreditation options.
