BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering (Foundation Entry) With IIndustrial Placement Year

Our Civil Engineering course is founded on strong industry links in a region that boasts a wide range of cutting-edge engineering and technology. Foundation Entry degree courses are designed for students who have the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly enter their chosen Honours degree programme. This course will equip you with the principles and concepts of engineering, underpinned by a sound knowledge and understanding of scientific principles. Work in the broad area of civil engineering or specialise either as a structural engineer, environmental engineer or geotechnical engineer. You’ll be taught by research-informed teaching staff working at the top of their profession and benefit from state-of-the-art laboratories and digital teaching facilities within the University’s Engineering Innovation Centre.
Our sandwich degrees offer the perfect blend of academic study and practical work experience, allowing you to build confidence in the workplace and graduate work-ready from your degree programme.

Our previous graduates have found their sandwich year particularly beneficial as it has allowed them to gain practical, hands-on experience within their chosen career and the opportunity to learn directly from professionals based out in industry. It is not uncommon for sandwich year programmes to also open up future work opportunities in similar fields or professions for our graduates.
