Introduction
Why choose this course?
You will study civil engineering subjects, such as structures, hydraulics, geotechnics, construction materials, mathematics and surveying. You'll also study the design and construction of sustainable infrastructures, focusing on water engineering, transport, highway and the energy sector.
You'll work in specialist laboratories, including concrete, hydraulics, materials, soils and structures, and experience real-life scenarios through site visits and field trips.
Practical work includes surveying, model-making, engineering drawing and computer-aided design. You'll also gain skills in project and business management.
Reasons to choose Kingston University
- With this degree, you'll develop skills to help you towards becoming a chartered engineer.
- 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 program of accredited Further Learning will be required to complete the educational base for CEng.
- Residential field trips focus on engineering surveying, geotechnical engineering and coastal engineering.
Professional Accreditation
BEng (Hons) Accredited CEng (Partial)
This degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprising the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Institute of Highway Engineers, and the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). Candidates must hold a master's or doctorate accredited as further learning for CEng to hold accredited qualifications for CEng registration.

Curriculum
What you will study
In this course, you will gain a good mix of theoretical, practical, academic, management and industrial-based skills.
Year 1
Year 1 develops your skills in engineering science, mathematics, computing, engineering drawing (including AutoCAD), fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, structures, materials and sustainable construction and design. There is an emphasis on practical work, including surveying, model-making and computer-aided design packages.
Core modules
- Sustainable Construction and Design
- Engineering Mechanics, Structures & Materials
- Engineering Mathematics and Computing Applications
- Fluid Mechanics and Engineering Science
Year 2
Year 2 comprises practical-focused studies covering specific civil engineering subjects such as hydraulics, geotechnics, structures, construction materials and site surveying. You will also gain a thorough grounding in project and business management. There are two residential field courses, in engineering surveying and geotechnical engineering.
Core modules
- Geotechnical Engineering 1 and Hydraulics
- Engineering Surveying
- Structural Engineering 1 and Construction Materials
- Engineering Project Management
Year 3/4
Your final year will broaden your understanding of core civil engineering disciplines (structures, hydraulics and geotechnics) with building and environmental engineering, and includes a field trip devoted to coastal engineering. You will also study the development, design and construction of sustainable infrastructure, focusing on water engineering, transport, highway and the energy sector. You will carry out an individual project and take part in a major group design exercise with fellow students.
Core modules
- Structural Engineering 2 and Geotechnical Engineering 2
- Sustainable Infrastructure and Environment
- Individual Project
- Business Management and Group Project
Part-time route (non-degree apprenticeship)
Attendance
You will attend one day per week for all lectures in a module including tutorials and laboratories. Also, you will need to take into account the attendance for the three field trips.
- Geotechnical field trip in Year 1.
- Engineering surveying field trip in Year 2.
- Geotechnical and hydraulics field trip in Year 3.
Exams normally take place in May.
E-learning
Our web-based system called Canvas hosts all lecture material, notes, assignments etc. for your subjects, allowing you to supplement your learning at the University with private study time at home or at the office.
Please note
Optional modules only run if there is enough demand. If we have an insufficient number of students interested in an optional module, that module will not be offered for this course.
