Swansea University - BEng Civil Engineering (Year Industry)

BEng Civil Engineering with a Year in Industry

School of Engineering

Swansea is consistently rated as one of the top universities for Civil Engineering in the UK. In the Teaching Quality Assessment, our teaching was rated as ‘Excellent’ – the highest category. The Times Good University Guide 2005 places Swansea second to Cambridge out of 45 universities.

The UCAS code for this course is: H202
Full time study: 4 year degree scheme

Part-time study: N/A

The excellence of our research work is also internationally recognised and this is reflected in the continuous achievement of 5* rating – the highest possible – achieved in the national Research Assessment Exercise. This will qualify the department for the 6* designation now being applied in the English rating system. Only two departments in Civil Engineering in the UK are ranked this highly.

Civil engineers play an important role in society, as they are responsible for design, construction and maintenance in areas such as transport systems, buildings and water supply.

 

You may then progress to either BEng or MEng depending on attainment. We will be happy to advise you on the suitability of your qualifications.

International students are very welcome to study civil engineering at Swansea and our past students have an excellent record of success. If you have qualifications equivalent to level 1 of our degree schemes (e.g. a relevant diploma) you will be able to join us at level 2.
