We normally look for people with a maths A-level at a high grade on our civil engineering degree courses. We're looking for people with enthusiasm and a real interest in civil engineering, not people who want to use an engineering degree as a stepping stone for working in the City.
For both our four-year MEng and three-year BEng in civil engineering, we offer an optional industrial placement for a year. We encourage people to get work experience, as those students on placements can put their learning into context and are much more enthusiastic when they come back to the course.
