Civil Engineering | Beng (hons) in Leeds Beckett University

Course Details

Start on the path to becoming a chartered engineer and have an impact on the design, construction and maintenance of the world around you. Mathematics will underpin everything you do in engineering, so it will play a key role in your learning. We will also build your understanding of structures, hydraulics, geotechnical engineering, management, health, safety and welfare, surveying, materials science and sustainable development.

We will nurture your ability to manage, work in team environments and play a leading role in this industry. You will develop a flair for communication, problem solving and project management, knowing what's needed to investigate and evaluate different engineering situations.

You will also look at using materials in new ways, the principles of experimental design, and the engineering behind roads, bridges and other major structures. You will understand how civil engineering works and know how to use this knowledge to solve structural problems.

This course offers the opportunity to take a ‘sandwich’ year – a year of paid employment in industry which will build your skills and experience. This is usually taken between the second and third year of your degree, typically making your course four years in total. Students who choose the sandwich route find it helps with both their studies and getting a job after graduation. It can build your confidence, contacts, and of course your CV. Leeds Beckett advertise lots of placement opportunities and provide support in helping you find the right placement for you.

Course Benefits

Our modern, well-equipped laboratories give you the chance to get involved with industry standard tools and testing. We'll show you how to examine the strength of materials for structures, and understand the latest geotechnical and structural analysis software packages.

We can offer you great links with industry, thanks largely to our teaching team - which includes five Chartered Engineers - who have great experience across different areas of engineering. Guest lectures, talks on engineering projects and trips to construction sites will provide you with great opportunities to network with professional engineers and see how what you're learning can be applied to real situations.

We also offer this course in sandwich mode allowing you the chance to take a 12 month break from your studies to spend a year gaining valuable engineering experience in industry.
