• Year 1 develops the theoretical basis of civil engineering and is structured around a series of real-world engineering problems (known as Engineering Scenarios and Challenges), intended to put student’s acquired knowledge into practice. The student will share classes in mathematics with other engineering students and take part in two interdisciplinary Engineering Challenges. At the end of Year 1, there is a residential field trip to Wales, which includes surveying, dam design, health and safety risk management, and the environmental impact assessment of engineering activities. 
  • In Year 2 core civil engineering knowledge is developed further, and students will also choose an IEP Minor subject from a wide range of engineering and non-engineering disciplines. At the end of this year, there is a residential field trip to develop your construction and project management skills on a bespoke construction site.
  • Study of students IEP Minor subject continues in Year 3, as students also take compulsory advanced core modules and complete a substantial research project.
