This degree will prepare you for a rewarding career as a professional structural engineer. With this design-focused course, you'll gain the skills and expertise to design real-world structures like bridges and buildings. You'll also tackle global challenges such as climate change, low-carbon targets, and resource scarcity. You'll gain practical experience in our specialist labs, working with industry-standard equipment, digital tools, and analytical techniques. You'll benefit from strong industry connections and insights from world-class researchers. In the first two stages, you'll build a solid foundation by exploring core civil engineering disciplines. In your third and fourth stages you'll specialise in structural engineering. Advanced topics include timber design and seismic-resistant structures, helping you take the lead in the future of sustainable engineering.
A Level: AAB | AAB including Mathematics and Further Mathematics. | T Level | T-levels are considered for direct entry onto the BEng. Applicants can apply for the BEng and transfer onto the MEng at the end of Stage 2 subject to meeting the progression requirements. | Access to HE Diploma: 45 UCAS points | Access to HE Diploma | Access to HE Diploma | 45 level 3 credits at Distinction, in a relevant area of engineering or physical science. At least 15 credits should be in mathematics (including differential and integral calculus). Other units should include analytical engineering sciences (e.g. mechanical or electrical science/principles, physics, chemistry, materials science, electronics). | Scottish Advanced Higher: AAB | AAB at Advanced Higher including Mathematics. Two Highers at the required grade (in different subjects to those offered at Advanced Higher) may replace a third Advanced Higher. Scottish qualifications can be taken in more than one sitting. | Extended Project | We welcome applications from students offering an Extended Project and value the skills of research and independent learning that it is designed to develop. If you offer an Extended Project, it will be taken into account as part of your application profile, but we will not usually include it in offer conditions for this degree programme. | International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme: 34 UCAS points | 34 points overall including Mathematics at Higher Level grade 6. If not studying full IB Diploma - Grades 6, 6, 5 at Higher Level including Mathematics and completion of a national high school diploma. | Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016) | Candidates will be considered for Foundation Year entry only. Please see Engineering with Foundation Year for specific entrance requirements. Candidates who also have A Level Mathematics will be considered on an individual basis. | Leaving Certificate - Higher Level (Ireland) (first awarded in 2017) | Candidates will normally only be considered for Foundation Year entry. All applications will be considered on an individual basis. | Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate - Principal: D3D3M2 | D3, D3, M2 in Principal Subjects including Mathematics.
