M.Eng CIVIL ENGINEERING (INTEGRATED MASTER'S)

Our MEng Civil Engineering degree, validated as a four-year course in 2014, is a fast track to the top of the civil engineering profession. It covers much of the same ground as the BEng qualification, while being additionally equivalent to an MSc degree. Your degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators, which is made up of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), and the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE).  The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) have approved an application from the Permanent Way Institution (PWI).

In order to see it through, you’ll have to be confident of your academic ability. To join the course you’ll need to have at least 120 UCAS points (new tariff), including both A2 mathematics and A2 physics.

Students who are doing well in the second year of the BEng course are given the option to switch to this MEng Course, adding another year of study.

Our unique teaching approach aims to promote learning by doing through guiding you to use observational, prototyping and physical simulation methods in design, in addition to teaching you the theories, engineering principles and standards. You will be encouraged to be creative, innovative and to use advanced digital tools to shape your imaginations and translate them to specifications for structures and systems that you design. For example, in your final year modules, you will not only be designing structures from foundation to roof, but you will also use a suite of software and 3D manufacturing suites including 3D printers, plasma and laser cutting machines, robotic arm and clay printer as tools to bring your design into scaled reality.

As well as completing numerous practical projects, which are a particularly important part of the MEng course, you’ll benefit from visits by top professionals who’ll offer you advice – and work opportunities.

Our Docklands campus is ideally situated for studying iconic projects in the capital such as the Tate Modern Phase 2 Extension, the Canary Wharf Crossrail Station and the reconfiguration of the Olympic Stadium.
