YEAR 1 ( LEVEL 5)
The first year (level 5) modules build on knowledge gained at HNC level, offering challenging opportunities that allow students to demonstrate their achievement in design, problem-solving, analysis and assessment, application of working practice, specifications and standards, and health and safety requirements.
The Work Related module is a significant element of the programme and offers the opportunity for students to evaluate their own professional development needs. It also provides an opportunity to meet the 29 learning outcomes required by the Joint Board of Moderators. The successful completion of these outcomes signed off by your employer and in combination with the remaining modules provides the approved academic base for Incorporated Engineer. A further purpose of this module is to enable students to reflect upon and to develop their own effectiveness in relation to their current employment practice.
MODULES
- Highway Design
- Water Engineering
- Civil Engineering Maths
- Science and Materials
- Work Related Learning
YEAR 2 ( LEVEL 6)
In the final year, Project Management offers opportunities for students to demonstrate technical, financial, time- and people management skills, required in the execution of typical Civil Engineering projects. Building Information Management ( BIM) provides students with an insight into this innovative technology used to coordinate the full cycle of development, from inception, through the design and construction processes towards the management of the completed project, its potential adaptation and eventually its deconstruction.
The Individual Project will allow students to demonstrate independent learning, critical analysis and synthesising skills, and to demonstrate their understanding of research, analysis and the critical resources required to offer sustainable solutions to civil engineering problems. This module will also provide students with transferable skills such as those required in the creation of technical reports and the preparation and submission of review documentation to Professional Bodies.
MODULES
- Inter-professional Studies
- Building Information Modelling (BIM)
- Individual Project

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
