Continuing your studies for a 3rd year on our Civil Engineering BEng is a fantastic opportunity to boost your career prospects and learn from global experts involved in exciting research.
Our stimulating BEng degree programme enables you to build on your theoretical and practical skills gained during the Foundation Degree. You will complete an accredited BEng degree on the University of Birmingham campus, enjoy learning in our state-of-the-art School of Engineering building and immerse yourself in a research project. As part of the University student community, you will have access to the huge range of extracurricular activities including more than 500 student societies ranging from sport to politics; to the arts to culture; to gaming to engineering!
What will I study?
Joining Year 3 of the BEng allows you to develop further as your specialisation increases. You can choose between optional modules and tailor your study towards your interests through individual projects. We aim to challenge your innovative, creative, technical, management and presentation skills to bring together all your learning.
All final-year students will also ‘go it alone’ in a supported research project where you develop an understanding of an area of civil engineering that particularly interests you. You will have an individual supervisor throughout the research project and may work with their research team for additional support.
