Course Information
Information regarding the course includes:
The BEng (Hons) Graduate Apprenticeship in Civil Engineering is a 4-year programme of study designed for employees selected by their company as displaying the potential to follow an honours degree.
Year 1 of the programme introduces the fundamental subjects associated with some of the key areas of civil engineering. Maths for Civil Engineering is offered to apprentices without Higher Maths or equivalent. This ensures these apprentices will be equipped to cope with the higher level of Maths in Year 2. Apprentices in possession of Higher Maths (or equivalent) are exempt from the Maths for Civil Engineering course.
Year 2 of the programme – to which holders of relevant qualifications (e.g., HNC) and/or relevant work experience can join instead of joining in Year 1 – develops the material covered in Year 1 and introduces new aspects associated with construction management, hydraulics and key civil engineering materials.
Year 3 sees the introduction of fairly advanced topics, with an emphasis on design and application in some of the courses. The key subject area of geotechnics is introduced in this year alongside contracts and procurement and environmental engineering.
In the final (Honours) year 4, apprentices will spend a significant amount of time on work-based project work (both individual and group projects). The geotechnical subjects are advanced to Honours level and advanced structural design is enabled through different courses. An option course is offered in this year too.
If you believe this role is a good fit for you, we look forward to hearing from you.
