This integrated qualification gives you extra, in-depth study at masters level, developing your skills in management, teamwork and leadership.
You will learn how to design environmentally-friendly structures using sustainable materials and advanced engineering methods. You will learn with staff who are active in industry, research and consultancy.
Your learning will be supported by fieldwork and access to specialist facilities, including our hydraulics lab, concrete lab, soils lab and computer suite. As part of your masters-level study there are also opportunities to get involved in some of your lecturers’ research and consultancy work.
There is an emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, meaning you will collaborate with students in related fields on project work, mirroring the real-world environment.
The option of a salaried placement year provides valuable work experience and you will have the opportunity to learn Building Information Modelling (BIM) to further enhance your CV.

Course programme
Year 1
In your first year you will explore the fundamental elements of civil engineering.
You will also undertake a group project linked to the Engineering for People Design Challenge.
Modules- Land and Construction Surveying
This module will introduce you to the equipment and methods used in both land and construction engineering surveying. The module will provide you with a thorough grounding in both the theoretical and practical aspects of surveying and covers a range of surveying topics from basic measurement of heights, distances and angles, to setting out coordinate positions on site. As a result of the nature of the content, there is a focus on practical skills with much of the delivery taking place in a practical setting.
- Structural and Stress Analysis
This module will introduce you to the analysis of simple structures. Through the application of the equilibrium equations, you will be able to determine the support reactions and internal forces in structural members. The study will be undertaken through rigorous analytical and graphical approach as well as through physical conceptual understanding of the structural behaviour. The calculation of displacements and stresses will be also introduced as base of the limit state principles.
- Construction Materials
This module covers basic material science relating to construction materials such as timber, steel, concrete, masonry, polymers, bituminous materials, etc. You will develop an understanding of commonly used construction materials and evaluate the performance of different materials and to identify a variety of failure types. You will have the opportunity to test some of the main properties of basic construction materials, through laboratory sessions.
- Engineering Geology and Soil Mechanics
This is an introductory module covering principles of soil mechanics and engineering geology. The syllabus includes identification of soils and common rock types; engineering description and classification of soils and rocks; physical properties of soils and rocks; stresses in soils; earth’s surface processes; an introduction to geological maps. Lab classes, tutorials and a field day will give you hands-on experience.
- Mathematics for Civil Engineering
This module will introduce you to the mathematics and statistics required to study civil engineering. Vectors, linear algebra, matrix analysis, solutions of a set of linear equations, functions of one or more variables, differentiation and integration will be covered. Statistical tools are provided for estimating uncertainty in civil and environmental engineering problems.
- Civil Engineering Practice
This module will introduce you to the range of issues related to the content and role of the civil engineering profession. Through independent and self-managed research, critical evaluation of published studies and writing of technical reports, you will develop an appreciation of the health and safety, environmental and sustainability issues related to civil engineering projects. It is linked to Engineering for People design Challenge UK and aims to prepare you for an effective professional life by encouraging best practices in cooperation and teamwork.
