Course content
Course structure
A fieldtrip to Berlin, an optional work placement year, site visits and a dissertation project are integral parts of the course.
Assessment is a combination of coursework and examinations. Coursework is based on laboratory work, literature research or group assignments.
Our research-informed teaching will support you to become an independent learner, with the ability to apply your knowledge to your dissertation project and career.
Areas of study
After a thorough introduction to the main engineering subjects in your first year, in year 2 you will develop your civil engineering and construction management skills.
You will gain an understanding of structures - their behaviour under natural and human loads, the importance of choosing appropriate construction materials, and the interaction of the ground with structures.
To complement this you will also explore the technical, financial, legal and managerial issues associated with the construction industry.
