Overview

Our Civil Engineering undergraduate course covers the main disciplines of structures, geotechnics, plus both water and transportation engineering. The degree is designed to give you the knowledge and skills you need to become a Chartered Civil Engineer. The core curriculum concentrates on analysis and materials behaviour, covering the main disciplines. The later years of the course specialise more on design and management. Throughout, there’s an emphasis on your personal development within a professional environment.

All Civil Engineering undergraduate courses are supported by the Civil Engineering Industry Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from major multi-national employers.

Accreditation

The Civil Engineering course is accredited on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer, by the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT), the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE).

Teaching and Learning

The overall approach in the programme to teaching and learning is a student-centred one, which is designed to encourage students to take increasing responsibility for their own learning and development as the programme progresses.

The requisite competencies related to Subject Mastery are acquired and developed through lectures, tutorials, group work and laboratory exercises, supplemented by case studies and industrial projects. The practical component of the programme reinforces the development of subject-specific skills through a combination of design projects, laboratory work, computer-based learning and design packages, a programme of site and field visits and industrial experience. Resources such as web-based materials are used to enhance lecture and practical programmes.

Assessment

The assessment policy for the programme incorporates a range of assessment types. Formative tests are scheduled during courses to provide feedback on performance and are used to inform further development. Continuous assessment during courses and summative assessment at the conclusion of courses both contribute to the overall assessment and are used to formally measure achievement in specified learning outcomes.
