Course overview

From day one of this civil engineering degree, you will be working on real built environment projects. Our course is project-based, meaning you’ll be getting hands-on experience – and learning to think and work like an engineer.

Benefits

Entry requirements

88 UCAS Tariff points from a minimum of 2 A Levels (or equivalent).

3 GCSEs including English Language and Science grade C, or grade 4 or above, and Maths grade B or grade 6 or above.

If English is not your first language you will be expected to demonstrate a certificated level of proficiency of at least IELTS 6.0 (Academic level) or equivalent English Language qualification, as recognised by Anglia Ruskin University.

Careers

Civil engineers tend to specialise in two areas – design and production. The chances are that as a BEng (Hons) student your interests will lie in design, but our course will prepare you for both.

Design civil engineers work mainly in offices, looking at the need for projects and how a particular project can be achieved.

Production civil engineers work and plan on-site, check the quality of work, and oversee schedules and budgets.
