What Makes This Course So Special?
Civil Engineering offers what not many vocations do – and that’s the opportunity to influence the world in which we live. Transport systems, public health, structures such as bridges and roads, sports stadiums, and schools – all of these are part of our daily lives and all of these depend on engineers. Moreover, the sheer variety of work available within the field is immense – you could be sat at a desk, or you could be on site – and you can see a project through from concept to finish. There are also opportunities to work in the developing world, for example re-construction works, and plenty of work overseas, too.
This course is designed to give you the flexibility you need, to fit around your work, or other commitments, taking into account your prior achievements such as the HND and meaning you are fast-tracked onto completion of your degree with us.
