Course Summary
Are you looking to progress your career in civil engineering, structural engineering, highways, utilities and environmental management or land surveying? Equivalent to the first year of a university degree, this Civil Engineering HNC offers you the practical and personal skills needed for a role in the sector or progression to further study.
The Higher National Certificate in Civil Engineering Studies is a vocational course designed to help prepare you for a rewarding career in the industry. With a strong focus on hands-on practice, reinforced by theory, this course is the product of more than 50 years of experience delivering well-acknowledged civil engineering programmes in the North West.
As a student on the HNC Civil Engineering Studies course, you’ll have hands-on access to our laboratories, developed for practice in the materials, hydraulics, geotechnical and structural disciplines. You’ll also have the opportunity to make use of all the latest surveying equipment, which is equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
Problem-solving is a key focus - you’ll be guided in learning and applying UK and EU codes of practice and industry standards, using your critical reasoning and analysis skills. You’ll also cover those elements of maths and science that support engineering principles, along with management techniques and subjects that enhance your awareness of the commercial and economic context of engineering processes.
