Civil and environmental engineers focus on buildings and infrastructure and the environment in which they are built and operated, continually finding new ways to ensure safety and sustainability of operations whilst also protecting the natural world. From safe drinking water and transport systems, to dealing with contaminated sites and minimising environmental impact, the work of civil and environmental engineers is varied and also has a huge impact on our quality of life on a daily basis. This JBM-accredited degree develops civil and environmental engineers who actively contribute to sustainable and economic growth whilst maintaining the highest ethical standards and delivering the infrastructure we all rely on in everyday life. At Leeds, sustainable development is integrated into teaching and learning throughout your degree. You’ll focus on design and engineering projects which minimise society’s impact on the environment, reduce the temporary borrowing of finite materials and resources, while maximising societal benefit. You’ll also develop and fine-tune theoretical and practical abilities and learn to solve problems using analytical, technical and decision-making skills – all attributes sought after by employers in industry. This is a practical course, so you’ll also have access to excellent laboratory facilities and a design studio, as well as extensive library facilities and computing equipment, including industry-standard software such as Revit (Building Information Modelling), IES (dynamic thermal modelling) and Robot (structural analysis). Our impressive laboratory facilities include specialist facilities for structures, materials, public health engineering, building services and geotechnics – everything you need to get started on your career as a chartered civil and environmental engineer. **Why study at Leeds:** - This course is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM). - Work on your own construction design projects to solve real-world problems, putting into practice what you have learned, building scale physical models and developing graphical presentation and computer modelling skills using industry-standard software. - Benefit from our globally-renowned research here at Leeds, which feeds directly into your course and shapes what you learn with the latest thinking in addressing societal, technical and environmental challenges with infrastructure around the world. - Enhance your career prospects and give your CV that competitive edge before you graduate with a paid industrial placement year. - Take part in valuable fieldwork opportunities to apply your knowledge and practical skills outside of the lab and classroom. - Access specialist facilities including our new design studio, computing laboratories and extensive study spaces. - All degree courses within the School of Civil Engineering share a common first year, which gives you the flexibility to switch between these courses at the end of your first year. **Industrial placement year** This programme gives you the opportunity to undertake a paid industrial placement year as part of the course. Our close industry links give you the platform to apply to a number of major organisations such as JN Bentley, Mott MacDonald and Balfour Beatty.
A Level: AAA | A-level: AAA including Mathematics. Where an A-Level Science subject is taken, we require a pass in the practical science element, alongside the achievement of the A-Level at the stated grade. GCSE: English Language grade 4 (C) or higher, or an equivalent English language qualification. We will accept Level 2 Functional Skills English instead of GCSE English. Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), International Project Qualification (IPQ) and Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate(ASCC): We recognise the value of these qualifications and the effort and enthusiasm that applicants put into them, and where an applicant offers an A in the EPQ/IPQ/ASCC we may make an offer of AAB at A-level including A in Mathematics. All applicants must be studying Mathematics at level 3. For most students, this requirement is fulfilled by achieving the required grade in A-level Maths. Applicants for whom this requirement is to be fulfilled via qualifications other than A-levels (eg BTEC Maths and Additional/Further Maths modules) may be required to take a diagnostic Maths test in addition to their other level 3 maths studies. This is to ensure a suitable level of mathematical literacy to support your success on the course. | Scottish Higher: AABBB | AA at Advanced Higher level, including Mathematics, and AABBB at Higher level. | Access to HE Diploma: 30 UCAS points | Access to HE Diploma: 15 UCAS points | Access to HE Diploma | Pass 60 credits overall with 45 credits at Level 3, 30 credits with Distinction (including an appropriate number of Mathematics modules) and the remaining 15 credits with Merit or above. | GCSE/National 4/National 5 GCSE: English Language grade 4 (C) or higher, or an equivalent English language qualification. We will accept Level 2 Functional Skills English instead of GCSE English. | International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme | 18 points at higher level to include 6 points in Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation or 5 points in Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches. | Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016): D*D*D | D*D*D with Distinctions in all Mathematics units including Maths and Further Maths (and/or other appropriate maths units) plus an interview and diagnostic Maths test. Some units may be optional on your BTEC but are required by the Faculty. Please contact us for further information. | Leaving Certificate - Higher Level (Ireland) (first awarded in 2017): H1H2H2H2H2H2 | H1 H2 H2 H2 H2 H2 including Mathematics. | Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate - Principal: D3D3D3 | D3, D3, D3 including Mathematics.
