4-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Transfer to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Civil Engineering

Program Description

Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career.

Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Bristol.

The University of Bristol is a highly ranked Russell Group university with a fantastic reputation. Students will join a global community of students from more than 150 countries, and enjoy life in one of the UK’s most exciting cities.

At Bristol students will have access to world-class laboratory facilities, including the most advanced earthquake shaking table in Europe.

The first two years provide a strong foundation in engineering, including mathematics, structures, soil and fluid mechanics, computing and surveying, as well as optional units. More optional units are introduced in the third and fourth years, allowing students to pursue their interests while developing key professional skills. Students will also undertake a major investigative research project.

Design is central to the course and this is reflected in the projects students will undertake. In the first year they will develop a solution to an open-ended problem, such as designing and making a model bridge. The second year includes steel work, reinforced concrete and geotechnical design. Among other activities in the third year, students will design a water supply system.

Students will take part in an exciting group design project in the fourth year. This project combines their learning as they tackle a realistic design challenge identified through industry links. Design projects range from transportation to smart cities and from skyscrapers to sustainable housing.
