COURSE CURRICULUM

In your first year of civil engineering study, you'll gain a strong foundation in surveying, mechanics, design, and the core principles of engineering. The Surveying A & Computer Aided Design module introduces key industry techniques for collecting and manipulating geospatial data, alongside training in CAD software. Engineering Mechanics and Applied Mechanics lay the groundwork for understanding the behaviour of structures, exploring forces, stress, strain, and structural responses through real-world examples and models. Advanced Mathematics provides the technical math skills necessary for more complex engineering problems, using tools like calculus and statistical analysis. In Civil Engineering Management A, you’ll learn about the legal and professional responsibilities of civil engineers, health and safety requirements, and standard measurement practices. Engineering Materials Science introduces a wide range of construction materials and their physical properties. In your second year, you'll delve deeper into applied concepts and begin connecting science with real engineering challenges. Engineering Materials Chemistry explores materials deterioration, especially in concrete, focusing on sustainability and corrosion. Civil Engineering Management B builds your understanding of contracts, risk assessment, and project control. Fluid Mechanics I introduces core principles to analyse flow behaviours essential for many civil engineering applications. Introduction to Structural Design and Structural Analysis Techniques develop your ability to assess and design elements using different materials and configurations. Geotechnical Engineering: Application & Theory introduces soil and rock mechanics for foundation design, while Advanced Mathematics II enhances your ability to apply mathematical methods to engineering scenarios. In your final year, your studies become more specialised and project-based. Geotechnical Engineering: Design & Theory develops your interpretation of site investigations and analysis of foundations and retaining structures. Infrastructure Engineering covers broad elements of civil infrastructure such as bridges, highways, and water systems. The Independent Project allows for an in-depth exploration of a topic of your choosing. Structural Engineering Techniques focuses on advanced analysis and design, while Fluid Mechanics II expands your ability to apply hydraulic principles to real-world water engineering. Numerical Management Techniques ties together your technical and management knowledge, applying logical, data-driven decision-making to complex civil engineering problems.
