BEng Civil Engineering

A-levels

• Standard academic entry requirements: AAB.
• Minimum academic entry requirements: BBB.
• Other mandatory requirements: Must include Maths and Physics.

Highers

• Standard academic entry requirements: S5 entry requirement = AAAA or AAABB. S6 entry requirement = AAAAAB (S6 entry requirements only apply to applicants who achieved the minimum S5 requirements and have been made a conditional offer.)
• Minimum academic entry requirements: Applicants who achieve less than AAAA or AAABB in S5 but have achieved at least ABBB MAY receive an offer based on S6 results. A decision will be made in March 2015 once all applications have been reviewed.
• Other mandatory requirements: Entry from S5 requires Maths and Physics at Grades A/B or B/A. Entry from S6 will require applicants to have Maths in S5 and Physics at Grades A/B or B/A by the end of S6.

Year 1

• You will take courses in mathematics and study engineering fundamentals including civil engineering, dynamics, electronics, materials, statics, thermodynamics and engineering skills.  These courses are supported by individual and group project and laboratory work.

Years 2 and 3

• You will take a range of courses within structural engineering, water engineering, transportation, geotechnical engineering and construction management. Courses cover both fundamental principles and practical applications. We place considerable emphasis on practical work, in the form of laboratory classes, physical and computational modelling exercises, project work, surveying fieldwork, design projects and site visits.
