Course Overview

This HNC in Civil Engineering prepares you 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 use your critical thinking and analysis skills to apply the UK and EU codes of practice and industry standards learned on this course. The areas of maths and science which support engineering principles will be covered, along with management techniques and subjects that boost your awareness of the economic and commercial context of engineering processes.

Course Requirements

All applications will be considered individual merit, usually based on 64 UCAS points comprising either:

GCE A level
Level 3 vocational qualification in a relevant subject.
Access to Higher Education Diploma in a relevant area.

Successful applicants should have 4 GCSEs at grade C/4 or above including Maths and English.

Mature students with relevant work experience and/or professional qualifications are welcome to apply and may be invited to an interview.

What you will Learn

You will acquire knowledge of various aspects of the civil engineering field; in particular, in-depth theoretical knowledge of structural design and analysis as well as an understanding of concrete technology. Exposure to setting-out processes and surveying will equip students with the principles of mapping and land surveying. You will learn about the different construction methods that may be adopted on different projects, and you will become familiar with the equipment available to perform on-site work.

Those that choose to progress to HND will have the opportunity to explore geotechnical aspects within the geology and soil mechanics unit, with practical work on sieve analysis and soil sheer strength.

Assessment

You will be assessed using a range of methods including written assignments, reports, presentations and undertake some practical activity.

Progression

Students can continue their studies with us and progress to a level 5 HND Civil Engineering, and following this may be eligible to complete a one year top-up degree at Level 6.
