2-Semester Pathway - Foundation Pathway in Engineering - Continue to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Civil Engineering

Program Description

Engineering at Swansea University is taught in a cutting-edge learning environment using state-of-the-art teaching facilities. The university pioneers technological progress in both traditional and emerging engineering disciplines, working in partnership with major industrial companies. All engineering activities at Swansea University are driven by, and based on, world-leading research.

Civil engineers are vital to the design of the built environment. From bridges, tunnels and transport systems, to buildings, flood defences and water management, their performance is fundamental to modern society. This degree gives students a strong grounding in the design and analysis of Civil Engineering structures. They will develop complex problem-solving skills, gain the ability to sketch and model engineering solutions and become comfortable preparing technical reports. As students progress, their developing analytical abilities will combine with hands-on experience of state-of-the-art equipment, establishing skills which are vital to securing employment in the civil engineering industry.

Civil Engineering graduates are set on course for a range of exciting employment opportunities including: Site Engineer, Structural Engineer, Town Planner, Building Services Engineer, Engineering Geologist, Environmental Consultant, and Quantity Surveyor.
