Civil Engineering BSc (Hons)
-
I have been living in Coventry from several years but it was a year ago when I became a student at this centre. It was a nice environment to study, bring remarkable speakers to the lectures and the staff is friendly. I would definitely recommend it to everyone, especially for civil engineering.

The staff were really approachable and friendly, that is why the environment was so cozy. I also made really good friends during my course. My dissertation was carried out in a very modern facility, where I deposed a pipe. I also worked during one year with a company. That experience is invaluable. Thanks to that and to the university, I was able to get my first job.

I really like studying at Coventry University. It is an amazing university where lecturers actually care about you and take the time to learn your name. I found this very important. It has great facilities such as the information learning services. I don't use the student's union, because I find it quite busy and I don't feel comfortable there. Most of the lecturers are friendly and really helpful. The clubs and societies are also great.

Course programme
There are three core course themes, which are carefully balanced across all years of the course: specific technical knowledge, construction practice and skill development through group project work.
Throughout the three years of study you will cover the principles of civil engineering including: engineering analysis, structural analysis and design, highways and surveying, ground and water engineering construction and project management.
In your fina year, your will get the chance to select two modules from two groups of optional modules in the following subject areas: hydrology, transport infrastructure, structural design, advanced surveying and construction management.
Your course will be based on a series of lectures, with associated tutorials, labs and practical sessions. In addition, you will be assigned a personal tutor who will review and discuss your progress with you and will be available for advice.
You will work with staff on real-world problems from industry, commerce and research groups, as you would in professional practice; this means that you can develop all of the professional skills at the same time as you learn the technical content of your degree.
An estimated percentage breakdown of how your final grade is assessed is as follows: formal examinations 40%; coursework, tests, essays 10%; practical or project work 20%; group work 20%; presentations, posters etc.10%.
A compulsory Add+vantage module must also be completed as each stage: please see the page on the Add+vantage scheme for more details.
