How do I get there?

There are so many different aspects to civil and structural engineering that courses at different levels will cover a wide range of subjects and develop many important skills. If you are fascinated by structures and how they are built, then a course or degree in civil engineering is for you.

Age 16+

Although you won't have studied civil engineering in school, you will have studied some relevant subjects like maths, design & technology, IT and physics. Geography, geology and economics might also come in handy. You can apply Knowledge of these subjects to new ones you will learn about in a HND, such as:

  • Materials
  • Measurement
  • Structural mechanics
  • Civil engineering construction
  • Civil engineering administration
  • Investigation and inspection
  • Environment science
  • Soils and water
  • Surveying
  • Highway design.

Most courses are very practical and offer the opportunity to try out academic theories on field trips. You'll be amazed at how quickly you apply the theory of civil engineering and structures to real-life examples.

'COURSES AT DIFFERENT LEVELS WILL COVER A WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECTS…'

Age 18+

In the first year of a degree you will probably cover the core subjects of structural, geotechnical and fluid engineering. The main elements will include:

  • Theory of structures
  • Structural mechanics
  • Structural design
  • Soil mechanics
  • Geology
  • Construction management
  • Computer methods
  • Field studies

In your later years you will broaden and deepen your knowledge in these areas and have the option of specialising in others, such as:

  • Highway construction and maintenance
  • Traffic and transportation
  • Structural engineering
  • Environmental issues
  • Costal engineering.

Because of the number of people now entering higher education, Engineering Council regulations have recently changed to help universities provide engineering courses of different types and levels to suit people with a wide range of abilities and ambitions. Entry qualifications for courses are strict and choosing an accredited course is very important if you want to take the most direct route to professional qualifications. There are now three specific pathways students can take to become a civil of structural engineer:

  • Becoming a chartered engineer, by taking an accredited four-year MEng degree and completing carefully controlled training in the workplace
  • Become an incorporated engineer, through an accredited IEng degree (many new ones are being developed) or an accredited HND/HNC course plus a further year's learning, also called a matching section
  • Becoming an engineering technician, through an advance GNVQ, NC or ND course.

Remember that academic study is just the start of the process towards professional qualifications.

To find our more about routes to qualification and what they mean for you, try to get hold of some university prospectuses or contact relevant professional organisations such as the Institution of Civil Engineers.
