This degree is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in structural engineering.

While it does not prevent you from working in other areas of civil engineering, you will be well placed to go on to design and build the structures that are central to our infrastructure such as bridges and buildings. Your work may even take you in to designing industrial systems and specialist structures such as oil platforms and aircraft frames.

Our degrees are divided into Stages. Each Stage lasts for an academic year and you need to complete modules totalling 120 credits by the end of each Stage.

Stage 1

Compulsory modules

• CEG1001  Design of Sustainable Engineering Systems 1
• CEG1003  Human System Demands and Impacts
• CEG1101  Environmental Systems
• CEG1201  Geotechnical Properties of Soils and Rocks
• CEG1301  Engineering Mechanics and Materials
• CEG1501  Fluid Mechanics
• CEG1709  Engineering Surveying 1
• CEG1710  Geographic Information Systems
• ENG1001  Engineering Mathematics 1

Stage 2

Compulsory modules

• CEG2001  Design of Sustainable Engineering Systems 2
• CEG2002  Statistics and Numerical Methods for Civil Engineers
• CEG2003  Engineering Informatics
• CEG2101  Treatment of Water and Wastewater
• CEG2201  Geotechnics
• CEG2301  Structural Analysis
• CEG2302  Steel and Concrete Structures
• CEG2401  Land Traffic and Highways
• CEG2501  Hydraulics
• CEG2712  Engineering Surveying 2

Students who have achieved an average of 55 per cent in their Stage 2 assessments may also apply to transfer to our Civil and Structural Engineering MEng Honours degree for the remaining two years.

The Engineering Council (UK) recommends that UK and EU students apply for the MEng degree as this is seen as the most direct route to becoming professionally qualified.

Stage 3

Compulsory modules

• CEG3001  Design of Sustainable Engineering Systems 3
• CEG3002  Construction Management
• CEG3003  Engineering Ethics and Sustainability
• CEG3099  Individual Design Project
• CEG3201  Geotechnical Design
• CEG3301  Design of Building Systems
• CEG3302  Structural Mechanics
• CEG3304  Architecture for Structural Engineers
• CEG3305  Computational Engineering Analysis
