Civil Engineering
UCAS Code: H290
Master of Engineering (with Honours) - MEng (Hon)
Entry requirements
A level
Including Mathematics, but excluding General Studies and Critical Thinking. For Biology, Chemistry and Physics A levels, we require a pass in the practical element. GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science (minimum grade B or 6) required if not offered at A or AS level.
Access to HE Diploma
In a relevant area of engineering or physical science. At least 15 credits should be in mathematics (including differential and integral calculus). Other units should include analytical engineering sciences (e.g. mechanical or electrical science/principles, physics, chemistry, materials science, electronics). GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science (minimum grade B or 6) required if Physics not offered at a higher level.
Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate - Principal
Including Mathematics. GCSE Physics or Dual Award Science (minimum grade B or 6) required if Physics not offered at a higher level.
If you offer the Level 3 Extended Project Qualification in a topic relevant to the degree programme, we will vary our offer to recognise this.
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
Including Mathematics at Higher Level grade 6 or above. Physics required at Standard Level grade 5 or above if not offered at Higher Level.
Candidates will normally only be considered for Foundation Year entry. All applications will be considered on an individual basis.
Candidates will be considered for Foundation Year entry only. Please see Engineering with Foundation Year for specific entrance requirements
Scottish Advanced Higher
Including Mathematics. Higher Physics required at grade B if not offered at Advanced Higher. Two Highers at the required grade (in different subjects to those offered at Advanced Higher) may replace a third Advanced Higher. Scottish qualifications can be taken in more than one sitting.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
What do graduate employment figures really tell you?Do you want to be in demand? This might be the degree for you! We are officially short of civil engineers, and so around two thirds of civil engineering graduates start jobs specifically as civil engineers, and starting salaries are well over £25k last year. Demand for civil engineers and related jobs - we're short of all of them - means that good graduates have plenty of options directly related to their degree when they graduate. This is a subject where work experience can be very helpful in getting a job and many students do work for engineering companies while they take their degrees.

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
