    University of Bradford

    The University of Bradford began in 1882, then known as Bradford Technical College. However, it owes much of its pioneering spirit to The Mechanics Institute, founded in 1832. Both organisations combined in 1957 to become the Bradford Institute of Technology. The Institute was granted the Royal Charter less than 10 years later, in 1966. It […]

    Course Summary

    An MEng degree specialising in Civil and Structural Engineering opens up a wide range of rewarding career options to you. The degree fulfils the educational requirements for becoming an Incorporated Engineer and sets you well along the path to registering as a Chartered Engineer. It is recognised by Europe’s ENAEE and fully accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators in the UK. That body is comprised of the CIHT, the ICE, the IHE and the IHT.

    This is an integrated BEng/MEng program, open to students without a first Bachelor’s Degree. In it you’ll learn the skills you need to plan, construct, repair and maintain every aspect of a city’s infrastructure. You’ll learn the techniques you need to deal with road, bridges, underground transport systems of all kinds and of course the buildings that make up a city itself. You’ll also be given the background you need in mathematics, computing, technical drawing, environmental and personnel management, as well as an understanding of the structural and geotechnical aspects of civil engineering.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Learning & Teaching

    Bradford’s MEng programs combine traditional theory teaching with real world practical sessions. You’ll engage in a series of group and individual presentations, projects or reports where you’ll study real world engineering challenges and propose ways to overcome them. Taught modules will use directed learning, site visits, demonstrations, interactive tutorial exercises, case studies and large lecture classes as appropriate to the material in question. Assessment will be based on tests as well as coursework.

    Career Possiblities

    In 2017, a remarkable 100% of Bradford’s Civil and Structural Engineering graduates had either found suitable employment or gone on to higher level studies within 6 months. The HESA notes that 2017 Civil and Structural Engineering graduates received an average starting salary in excess of £28,000. This is because the demand for MEng graduates is very high, and Bradford’s reputation for supplying top notch people gives you a substantial competitive edge.

    Entry Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 5 year integrated MEng degree with a year in placement.

    Applicants must typically have achieved a Maths A Level at C or higher, or its international equivalent. Beyond that, a wide range of qualifications are accepted.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test such as the IELTS.
