About Program

Program Overview

About our foundation years

Our Foundation Year courses are perfect for you if you...

are returning to education after a long time, or you don't have the qualifications for direct entry into our degree programmes
are thinking of re-training and would like an introduction to the area
are an international student wanting an additional year to adapt to the UK academic system
are still evaluating which degree pathway at UEL is the right one for you

Please note: Foundation years can only be studied full-time. However, you can transfer to part-time delivery once you have completed your foundation year. Please apply to the full-time option if you wish to study in this way.

Civil Engineering (Integrated Masters) MEng

Overview

Embark on a career in civil engineering with our MEng Civil Engineering programme. This is an accelerated pathway endorsed by the Joint Board of Moderators for aspiring Incorporated Engineers (IEng).

A fast track to the top of the civil engineering profession, covering much of the same ground as the BEng qualification, and equivalent to an MSc degree.
Holistic Learning Approach. Blend theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience in the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of vital civil engineering infrastructures. This includes buildings, roads, bridges, and canals.
Innovative Design Tools: Foster creativity and innovation by using advanced digital tools. You will use manufacturing suites, 3D printers, plasma and laser cutting machines, robotic arms, and clay printers. This will enable you to translate imaginative concepts into tangible specifications for civil engineering structures and systems.

Entry Requirements

Academic requirements

120 UCAS points from an equivalent Level 3 qualification listed on the UCAS tariff calculator , including:
A Levels in at least two subjects. Must have A Level in Mathematics and Physics Grade C.
BTEC Extended Diploma - DDM in a relevant topic. Must include Merit in both Mathematics and Further Mathematics
T Levels in a relevant subject
International Baccalaureate – 24 points including a minimum of 15 points at Higher Level, must have 5 points in Mathematics at HL.

We also welcome applications from students who are taking Level 3 or higher qualifications not on the UCAS tariff calculator and will assess the suitability, on a case by case basis.

In addition to one of the above, you should have:

GCSE English Grade 4/C or Level 2 Functional Skills in English
GCSE Mathematics Grade 4/C or Level 2 Functional Skills in Mathematics

International Qualifications

We accept a wide range of European and international qualifications in addition to A-levels, the International Baccalaureate and BTEC qualifications. Please visit our International page for full details.

English Language requirements

IELTS 6.0 with a minimum of 6.0 in Writing and Speaking; 5.5 in Reading and Listening (or recognised equivalent).

If you do not meet the academic English language requirements for your course, you may be eligible to enrol onto a Pre-sessional English course. The length of the course will depend on your current level of English and the requirements for your degree programme. We offer a 5-week and an 11-week pre- sessional course.

Additional costs

Depending on the programme of study, there may be extra costs which are not covered by tuition fees, which students will need to consider when planning their studies.

Tuition fees cover the cost of your teaching, assessment and operating University facilities such as the library, IT equipment and other support services. Accommodation and living costs are not included in our fees.

Textbooks
Our libraries are a valuable resource with an extensive collection of books and journals as well as first-class facilities and IT equipment. You may prefer to, or be required to, buy your own copy of key textbooks.

Computer equipment
There are open-access networked computers available across the University, plus laptops available to loan. You may find it useful to have your own PC, laptop or tablet which you can use around campus and in halls of residences.

Free WiFi is available on each of our campuses.

Printing
In the majority of cases, coursework can be submitted online. There may be instances when you will be required to submit work in a printed format. Printing and photocopying costs are not included in your tuition fees.

Travel
Travel costs are not included but we do have a free intersite bus service which links the campuses and halls of residence.

For this course, you will be:

involved in processes of making, as a means of exploration, experimentation, and understanding your practice, by using a diverse range of media and materials
required to purchase your own copy of books, for required reading
required to produce physical artefacts for assessment
able to participate in optional study visits and/or field trips

However, over and above this you may incur extra costs associated with your studies, which you will need to plan for.

In order to help you budget, the information below indicates what activities and materials are not covered by your tuition fees:

personal laptops and other personal devices
personal copies of books
optional study visits and field trips (and any associated visa costs)
printing costs
your own chosen materials and equipment
costs of participating at external events, exhibitions, performances etc.

The costs vary every year and with every student, according to the intentions for the type of work they wish to make. Attainment at assessment is not dependent upon the costs of materials chosen.

For the 2018/19 academic year these were typically:

Compulsory field trip (at levels 4): £300 - £400 per student
Optional field trip (at L6): £500

Your future career

With an integrated masters like the MEng degree in civil engineering, you'll be well on your way to a successful career. The high quality of our teaching on the course is widely recognised, and the constant input from industry professionals ensures your qualification will be extremely relevant to employers. Our Industrial Advisory Board plays a crucial part in regulating your study. This 15-strong board of industry professionals will also watch and ask questions as you present your team project. You might decide to specialise as a hydraulic engineer, a structural engineer, or a geotechnical engineer. Others have chosen to work in other professional areas, such as finance, education, marketing and housing.

How we support your career ambitions

We offer dedicated careers support, and further opportunities to thrive, such as volunteering and industry networking. Our courses are created in collaboration with employers and industry to ensure they accurately reflect the real-life practices of your future career as a civil engineer and provide you with the essential skills needed. You can focus on building interpersonal skills through group work and benefit from our investment in the latest cutting-edge technologies and engineering facilities.

How you'll learn

When not attending timetabled lectures or workshops, you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. This will typically involve skills development through online study, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects and preparing coursework assignments and presentations. Your independent learning is supported by a range of excellent facilities including online resources, specialist facilities, such as game labs, the library, the full Microsoft Office software, including MS Teams, and Moodle: our Virtual Learning Environment.

How you'll be assessed

Assessment tasks are mainly spread across the year to make the workload manageable. Assessment methods include group work, exams and individual work including essays, presentations, case studies, professional development and practical activities depending on the nature of the course. All grades count towards your module mark. More details will be included in the student handbook and module guides. You will always receive detailed feedback outlining your strengths and how you can improve. We aim to provide feedback on assessments within 15 working days, although you will receive immediate feedback following many of our face-to-face assessments.
