Civil Engineering BSc (Hons)

The Civil Engineering Department at BUE graduates general Civil Engineers with a specialisation in one of six major specialisms. Specialisation is created through three parallel paths. The first comprises two industrial placements in the 

summer of Years Two and Three. The second is 40 credits worth of project effort divided into 20 credits of an individual research project and 20 credits of a group design project. Finally, students are offered 20 credits of optional modules that support the projects s/he has selected. 

The employed specialisation scheme allows students to gain a multifaceted expertise and knowledge. The knowledge gained is practical since his/her industrial training is in the selected specialism; it is theoretical with two modules enhancing the theoretical background; it is research informed since his/her design project is informed by findings reached in the research project; and finally it is applied since students employ all their knowledge in an integrated design project.
