Civil Engineering with Industrial Experience
Course Summary
This is a five year course leading to a Master of Engineering qualification (MEng) in Civil Engineering with Industrial Experience. During the first two years, the course is broad-based and covers topics such as structural analysis, hydraulics, geotechnics, construction materials, engineering design, project management and mathematics. In later years, you have considerable flexibility to steer your degree towards your interests by taking optional subjects such as renewable energy systems, fire engineering, earthquake engineering and computational hydraulics.
In your penultimate year, you will undertake an individual research project on an emerging topic in civil engineering, and, in your final year, you undertake an industry-supervised group design project and advanced units on civil engineering design and water engineering. After your second or third year, you embark on a year working in the civil engineering profession. This is a structured industrial placement assessed and monitored by the Department, with support in finding a placement provided. This degree will equip you to enter the civil engineering professions and fully satisfies the educational base for becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

We require a QAA-recognised Access to HE Diploma (a minimum of 60 credits overall with at least 45 at Level 3), with merit or distinction in a subject area relevant to the chosen course.
For entry onto this course we would also require an A level in Mathematics at Grade A in addition to the HE Diploma.
Three Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics at Grades AAA.
We will accept two Highers in place of the 3rd Advanced Higher. English Language and Mathematics not taken at Higher/Advanced Higher must have been achieved at SCQF level 5 (minimum National 5 Grade C/Intermediate 2 Grade C/Standard Grade Credit level Grade 3).
If you require further clarification about the acceptability of this qualification please contact the Academic School(s) you plan to apply to.
AS level results are not considered as part of the standard admissions process at The University of Manchester.
Grades AAA in Mathematics, Physics and one other subject.
Practical skills are a crucial part of science education and therefore there will be a requirement to pass the practical element of any science A Level taken.
Where applicants are applying for science and related degrees, this is likely to be made explicit in the offers you will receive.
Typical Contextual Offer: Grades AAB in Mathematics, Physics and one other subject.
