On this one-year add-on degree programme, you will learn about the engineering and planning methods associated with the design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering structures and facilities. The course will enable you to gain the academic and scientific capability necessary to make a significant contribution to civil engineering construction operations and to create an awareness of environmental considerations in civil engineering.
Minimum Entry Requirements
Higher Certificate in Civil Engineering (Level 6) or an approved equivalent Level 6 qualification.
Modules
Semester 1Mathematics, Structural Analysis & Design, Geotechnical Engineering, Costing & Engineering Management,
plus one of the following elective options
civil engineering electives
Environmental Engineering & Hydraulics, and Project and CAD
or
highway/traffic engineering electives
Traffic Engineering & Hydraulics and Road Design & Project.
Semester 2
Mathematics, Structural Analysis & Design, Geotechnical Engineering, Engineering Materials,
plus one of the following elective options
civil engineering electives
Environmental Engineering & Hydraulics, and Project and CAD
or
