BEng Civil Engineering
About this course
BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering, a civil engineering degree focusing on the design and analysis of built environment projects and infrastructure systems. Core topics include Programming, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Engineering Design, Communication & Writing, and Critical & Analytical Thinking. The course offers study options including a three-year duration, a four-year placement route, and a four-year path with a foundation year. The first year covers foundational principles through compulsory modules such as Applied Engineering Mathematics, Structural Mechanics, Building Information Modelling for Civil Engineering, and Materials, Design and Construction Project. The second year advances technical capabilities via modules including Hydraulics, Advanced Engineering Mathematics, Structural Analysis, and Structure and Construction Project. The final year focuses on complex applications and independent study through compulsory modules such as Civil Engineering Design Project, Geotechnics and Nature-based Solutions Project, Research Methods and Individual Project, and Structural Dynamics.
