Course summary
Embark on a career in civil engineering with our MEng Civil Engineering programme. This is an accelerated pathway endorsed by the Joint Board of Moderators for aspiring Incorporated Engineers (IEng).
- A fast track to the top of the civil engineering profession, covering much of the same ground as the BEng qualification, and equivalent to an MSc degree.
- Holistic Learning Approach. Blend theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience in the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of vital civil engineering infrastructures. This includes buildings, roads, bridges, and canals.
- Innovative Design Tools: Foster creativity and innovation by using advanced digital tools. You will use manufacturing suites, 3D printers, plasma and laser cutting machines, robotic arms, and clay printers. This will enable you to translate imaginative concepts into tangible specifications for civil engineering structures and systems.

Assessment method
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 third and fourth years over half of your assessment will be based on design and research projects. Feedback is provided within 15 working days in line with UEL's assessment and feedback policy.

For detailed information on entry requirements for our courses, please see the individual course pages. We consider a range of UK and worldwide qualifications at the appropriate level and also take relevant work experience into account when considering an application. Many courses have a Foundation Year option for those students whose qualifications do not meet the BA or BSc entry requirements. Applicants should have, or be working towards, grade C in GCSE English and Mathematics (or equivalent Level 2 qualification such as Functional Skills Level 2 in English and Mathematics or Key Skills Level 2 in Application of Number and Communication) Entry requirements are intended only as a guide for applicants. They are not a guarantee of an offer, nor of the conditions that may apply. When making a decision on your academic suitability, we will make an assessment of you as an individual and will use information other than qualifications; which may include predicted grades, performance at Level 2, relevant work experience, previous study at degree level, personal statement, references and any portfolio, written test or interview, to make our decision. If you have any questions, please contact a member of our Applicant Relations Team from Monday to Friday (9am–5pm) on +44 (0) 20 8223 3333 or https://uel.ac.uk/about/contact-us
