Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: H206

Here's what University of Bradford says about its Civil and Structural Engineering (with Integrated Foundation Year) course.

This integrated programme is designed to prepare and support students for a strong and rewarding experience in their selected engineering discipline, Civil and Structural Engineering, immediately aligning students to the fundamentals of engineering from the moment they enrol.

In addition to providing all necessary science, technology, engineering and mathematics background to allow students to confidently enter year one of the BEng (Hons) Civil and Structural Engineering programme, the first year of study will also develop transferable skills such as communication, professionalism, teamwork and creativity, and provide an excellent transition period in preparation for learning and teaching methodologies used in the UK to support high engagement and achievement in the discipline.

The first two years are taken in common with three other engineering disciplines (Biomedical, Chemical, Mechanical) and therefore prior to being immersed in the technical depth of your selected engineering area in the final two years of study, your education will include an understanding of the relation and importance of other engineering areas to your own discipline - invaluable in the modern team-based multidisciplinary engineering sector.

Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate (CDIO) forms a core element of programme delivery, based around developing innovative and sustainable solutions to real-world problems and closely linked to our well-developed industrial collaborations.

Professional Accreditation The BEng (Hons) in Civil and Structural Engineering is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprising the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, Institute of Highway Engineers, and the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation on behalf of the Engineering Council as:

  • Fully satisfying the educational base for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng)
  • Partially satisfying the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng)

A programme of accredited Further Learning will be required to complete the educational base for CEng.

The degree is also recognised by ENAEE (European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education).

Rankings Civil Engineering at the University of Bradford is ranked 7th in the UK in the Guardian University League Table 2022.

The university is generally good and people are usually helpful. The facilities such as the library are excellent. However, there is not much support and it can be difficult to contact people.
