Civil Engineering with Foundation Year Beng (Hon)

Do you want to become a civil engineer but lack the normal entry requirements for one of our honours degrees? Perhaps youve shown evidence of good academic potential but don’t have sufficient qualifications or have been out of formal education for a while. This four-year degree route incorporates a foundation year that is broadly equivalent to mathematics and physics A level and includes a project and introductory engineering topics.<br/><br/>The foundation year is an integral part of the extended degree and you will benefit from experienced university lecturers. Whilst completion of the foundation year will not lead to a separate award or qualification in its own right, you will be able to confidently progress to courses within our suite of civil engineering courses. <br/><br/><br/>- In the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), also known as the Shanghai Ranking we are eighth out of 50, and the highest ranked UK university, for Marine/Ocean Engineering.<br/><br/><br/>- Progress onto the first year of a professionally accredited civil or civil and coastal engineering degree course, guaranteed provided you pass the foundation year at the required level.<br/><br/><br/>- We have an established track record of students progressing from the foundation year to success in their chosen degree course. <br/><br/><br/>- Gain a gentle introduction to mathematics and science, essential for success on our civil engineering courses.<br/><br/><br/>- Benefit from material specifically for civil engineering students including an appropriate project in term two.<br/><br/><br/>- Students in engineering, science and the arts have access to a range of specialist equipment and innovative laboratories in our new engineering and design facility.<br/><br/><br/>- Learn from our professionally qualified teaching staff and researchers.
