Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: H200

Here's what University of East London says about its Civil Engineering course.

In pursuit of your civil engineering degree, our teaching approach focuses on Learning by Doing. You will learn how to design, construct, and manage civil engineering works. We will guide you to use observational, prototyping, and physical simulation methods in design. We will also teach you the theories, civil engineering principles, and standards.

  • You will learn to be creative. You will use advanced digital tools to shape your imagination. You will also use these tools to translate your ideas into structures and systems that you design. As well as completing numerous practical projects, you'll benefit from visits by top professionals who'll offer you advice - and, often, work opportunities in the field of civil engineering.

  • 1st in London in 5 categories including "Teaching on my course" & "Learning Opportunities" in the 2024 National Student Survey.

  • This degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) as fully satisfying the educational base for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and 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. See the JBM website for further information and details of Further Learning programmes for CEng.
