Civil Engineering with a Year Abroad

Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.

• Computational Methods I
• Creative Design I
• Drawing
• Energy Systems
• Environmental Engineering Science
• Fluid Mechanics
• Geotechnics
• Introduction to Civil Engineering
• Materials
• Mathematics
• Mechanics
• Professional Engineering Practice
  (including Construction Week)
  
• Structural Mechanics
• Surveying

• Computational Methods II
• Constructionarium
• Creative Design II
• Environmental Engineering: Water Resource and Supply Engineering
• Fluid Mechanics
• Fluids Design
• Mathematics
• Project and Business Management
• Soils and Engineering Geology

You will also take part in the Contructionarium, a week-long course held at the Construction Industry Training Board's site in Norfolk.

• Computational Engineering Analysis
• Dynamics
• Environmental Engineering
• Fluid Mechanics
• Geotechnics
  (including Geotechnics Project)
• Group Design Project
• Structural Mechanics
  (including Structures Project)
• Transport Systems

You choose one module from each group.

• Coastal Engineering
• Highway Engineering
• Nonlinear Structural Analysis
• Theory of Shells

• Concrete Structures
• Design of Timber and Masonry Structures
• Traffic Engineering

You can choose from a wide range of Horizons modules which are designed to broaden your education, inspire your creativity and enhance your professional impact. You can take one Horizons module in the third year, in place of one of the modules above.

The year ends with a five-week group design project, which will involve integrating knowledge from several civil engineering disciplines.

You spend this year abroad. The subject matter and the workload are similar for those who remain at Imperial for the fourth year. You will also complete a major project (which may be in industry for students in France).
