Course Overview

Civil engineers are vital to the design of our built environment. Their performance is fundamental to modern society, from bridges, tunnels, and transport systems to buildings, flood defences, and water management. This degree gives you a firm grounding in the design and analysis of Civil Engineering structures. You will develop complex problem-solving skills, gain the ability to sketch and model engineering solutions and become comfortable preparing technical reports. As you progress, your developing analytical abilities will combine with hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment, establishing skills that are vital to securing employment in the civil engineering industry.

General Eligibility

Variable offers depend on subjects studied, and all applications are considered individually, with GCSE grades, AS Level subjects and grades, work experience, references and personal statements taken into account.

Or 32 overall with either 5 at HL (or 6 at SL) “Mathematics: analysis and approaches”, or 5 at HL (or 7 at SL) “Mathematics: applications and interpretation”

Students studying for BTEC qualifications in relevant subjects require D*D*D* - D*D*D to include B at Level Mathematics. If they are not taking Level Mathematics, they must achieve a minimum D in the ‘Mathematics for Technicians and D in the ‘Further Mathematics for Technicians modules of the BTEC. Students must also have a minimum of two A grades at GCSE, including a minimum degree of B in Mathematics and two other Science subjects.

Part Time Work Details

Twenty hours of work permit weekly for international students.
