Module summaries:

Health and Safety
Here you will gain an understanding of the requirements of health and safety legislation, and its implementation for the civil and construction industries.

Structural Mechanics
This is an essential core subject in all civil and structural undergraduate study. This module helps you understand the fundamental principles governing the analysis of structures, by analysing the forces and stresses induced in the elements of structures in their state of equilibrium.

Civil Engineering Construction
In this module, you will gain a clear appreciation of the physical reality of civil and environmental engineering, helping you construct designs and proposals as efficiently and safely as possible.

Civil Engineering Practice
This module develops your awareness of the administrative aspects of civil engineering projects. It explains the basic principles of contract documents, tendering and other quasi-legal aspects of civil engineering.

Core studies
This module helps you gain the fundamental professional and academic skills you will need to complete the course. It covers a range of topics, including academic report writing, research methodology, computer-aided design (AutoCad), surveying, and an introduction to the relevant professional bodies, such as the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE).

Mathematics for Civil Engineers
In two parts, this module provides a mathematical background for your undergraduate study of civil engineering.

Fluid Mechanics
The study of fluid mechanics goes back at least to the days of ancient Greece, when Archimedes investigated fluid statics and buoyancy, and formulated his famous law known now as the Archimedes' Principle.

Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids and the forces on them, and is an active field of research with many unsolved or partly solved problems.

Design of Structural Elements
This module extends your understanding of the concepts of structural mechanics to the design of structural elements in reinforced concrete. In doing this, you will develop an understanding of the relevant Eurocodes and their application in design.

Highway Engineering
Here you will study traffic control systems and analysis, and design and evaluate processes for roads and road junctions. You will also gain a thorough knowledge and understanding of highway engineering principles and practice.

Work-based Project
This is your opportunity to develop your research and analysis skills, while investigating your own company's organisation and project profiles. You will learn new subject-specific and generic skills, and develop them through an iterative process of use and reflection.

Geology and Elements of Soil Mechanics
This module gives you an appreciation of the significance and influence of past geological history on the formation and behaviour of soils. It also enhances your understanding of the engineering properties and behaviour of soil as an engineering material.

Design of Steel and Masonry Structures
In this module, you will extend your understanding of the concepts of structural mechanics to the design of steel and masonry structures. This will involve developing an understanding of the relevant Eurocodes and their application in design.

Commercial management
In this module, you will study and analyse the commercial factors affecting project delivery and the maintenance of buildings.
Structural Design Project

This is your opportunity to apply, in a practical way, the analysis and design knowledge you have gained in your first and second years.

Environmental Protection Engineering
Here you will critically analyse the existing areas of environmental protection, building on your fluid mechanics knowledge.

Final Year Project
In this module, you have the chance to investigate an area of the civil and built environment that is directly related to your course. Through this, you will develop your research and written communication skills, while gaining a greater understanding of the industry.

Geotechnical Design
This module helps you analyse the various parameters involved in designing soil structures. You will also evaluate the interaction of soils on structures placed in or on them, and learn to use Eurocode 7 for basic geotechnical design.
