The BEng and MEng courses are essentially very similar, with the MEng having the addition of an integrated Masters year. The MEng year means you have an extra year to study advanced topics in civil engineering analysis, management study more optional modules to greater depth and undertake further group projects based on the needs of the industry. The MEng Degree fully meets the educational requirements of becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng). The BEng Degree meets the educational requirement of becoming an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partially meets the requirements of the route to becoming a Chartered Engineer. The BEng requires further study after graduation at some point either via an MSc or approved learning to meet the CEng requirements. As a Civil Engineer, you can improve quality of life through the planning, design, construction and maintenance of our built environment and vital infrastructure (energy, transport, bridges, water supply and sanitation and the natural environment.) MEng Civil Engineering can be studied with a placement year (over 5 years). Completing a placement year successfully earns students an additional qualification (Diploma in Industrial Studies). Assessment is by a combination of examinations, coursework, design projects, laboratory work, presentations, technical reports and field work. A Civil Engineering degree equips you to work in many industries and sectors as you will have studied a strong analytical degree. This makes our graduates highly sort after, not only for their technical skills but also for their general transferable skills (such as teamwork). The majority of our students remain in the construction sector, working for a wide variery of companies on a wide variety of project.
