(Bridge design, graphic picture manipulation)
|
The degree programmes are taught in a 2-semester year. The main examinations are held at the end of each semester in December and May/ June.
Assessment is normally given by a combination of coursework and examination mark. These are aggregated to give a weighted average mark for progression and degree award purposes. Students are provided with a transcript of results after each set of examinations and may discuss their performance with their personal tutor.The modular system means that students tackle a limited number of modules at any one time and this facilitates progress and understanding. |
Careers for Civil Engineers
A degree in Civil, Planning Design and Construction Engineering is vocational and provides the academic base
for a professional career in the planning, design, construction and management of major projects.
It also leads to many other career opportunities and our graduates are in demand from all sectors of industry,
professions, commerce and public service.The skills learnt in civil engineering programmes enable the ability
to analyse and solve complex problems by a rigorous approach and to communicate the results effectively.
Those professions interacting with engineering such as banking, accountancy, computing,
law and insurance appreciate numerical, technical and management skills.
Our graduates have found employment in all these businesses and also in production engineering, on offshore oil platforms, in large retail management, in environmental work and in property development.
