About this course
The degree is based around the major disciplines within the profession, such as civil, structural, geotechnical, and water engineering. At UEL Civil Engineering has an excellent tradition and reputation.
We offer a three-year course, with the option of adding a year-long placement working in industry. Your degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators, which is made up of the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, and the Institute of Highway Engineers.
Our high entry standards reflect the fact that each of our graduates will be heading for a professional engineering qualification.
Modules
Year 1: Introduction to Structural Mechanics (Core) Earth and Materials Properties (Core) Maths and Introduction to Fluid Mechanics (Core) Construction Technology & Surveying Core)
Year 2: Analysis and Design of Structural Elements (Core) Geotechnical and Material Analysis (Core) Engineering Maths and Hydraulic Analysis (Core) Engineering Surveying and Management (Core) *Optional industrial sandwich placement after completion of level 5 modules.
Year 3 :Structural Analysis and Design (Core) Geotechnical Engineering Design (Core) Integrated Design Project (Core) Individual Research Project (Core) Traffic and Highway Engineering (Option) Construction Site Field Project (Option)
Assessment methods
We’ll assess you with a mixture of coursework and exams. Coursework includes individual laboratory and research reports, practical, design and project work, as well as group and tutorial presentations and a final-year project.
Fifty per cent of the assessment in your first and second year is by coursework and we’ll give you as much feedback as possible so that you can develop and improve your written assessment submissions.
In your final year, over half of your assessment will be based on design and research projects.

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.

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?
