Course Overview

This HND in Civil Engineering builds on the Level HNC in preparing students for a career in the construction sector, by acquiring knowledge, understanding and developing skills that underpin the study of civil engineering. Problem solving is a very important skill and you will develop critical thinking and analytical skills, to be able to apply the UK and EU codes of practice and industry standards, learned on the course. The areas of maths and science which support engineering principles, will be studied along with management techniques and subjects that will increase your awareness of the economic and commercial context of engineering processes.
