3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program
University of West LondonThe University of West London offers a BEng in Civil and Environmental Engineering, a three-year program designed to equip students with both the technical expertise and the problem-solving mindset needed to address modern engineering challenges. The course blends traditional civil engineering foundations—such as structural design, geotechnics, and materials science—with a strong emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility. Students are prepared to work on projects that not only meet infrastructure demands but also protect and enhance the natural environment.
The program is structured to ensure that students steadily build their knowledge and skills:
Year 1: The first year introduces the fundamentals of civil and environmental engineering. Students develop a grounding in mathematics, mechanics, materials, and fluid dynamics. Alongside these technical subjects, there is also a focus on design principles and sustainability, helping students understand the role of engineers in shaping society responsibly.
Year 2: In the second year, students begin to explore more advanced areas, including structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, water resources, and environmental systems. Practical laboratory sessions and group design projects help students apply classroom theory to real-world problems. By this stage, students also begin to work on project management skills, preparing them for the collaborative nature of engineering work.
Year 3: The final year focuses on integration and innovation. Students undertake a major individual project or dissertation, allowing them to specialise in an area of interest such as sustainable construction, water management, or transportation systems. They also study advanced modules in structural design, environmental impact assessment, and professional practice, ensuring they are ready for the workplace or further academic study.
Curriculum Structure:
The Civil and Environmental Engineering program at UWL combines theory with hands-on application. Students learn through a mixture of lectures, workshops, lab sessions, and site visits. The curriculum typically includes:
Core Engineering Sciences – covering mathematics, mechanics, and materials.
Civil Engineering Fundamentals – structures, hydraulics, geotechnics, and surveying.
Environmental Engineering Topics – pollution control, water and wastewater treatment, sustainability, and environmental impact.
Design and Professional Practice – group design projects, project management, and professional ethics.
Final Year Project – a research-driven dissertation or applied engineering project.
The degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM), representing professional bodies such as the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE). This ensures graduates are on the pathway to becoming Chartered Engineers (CEng).
If you’re looking for a course that doesn’t just teach you the theory but gets you doing the work of an engineer, UWL’s BEng (Hons) Civil and Environmental Engineering is built with that in mind. From your very first year, you’ll work on real-world problems, learn to use professional-grade software, and get hands-on experience in labs that replicate the environments you’ll face in industry. By the time you graduate, you won’t just understand how to design sustainable, safe structures — you’ll have practiced it.
Here’s how the course makes that happen:
Design projects and teamwork – You’ll take on both individual and group projects, working on real engineering challenges that mirror what happens in professional practice. It’s a great way to build collaboration and leadership skills while producing real design solutions.
Industry-relevant learning – The course is shaped by engineering professionals and accredited, so everything you study reflects what employers actually need. You’ll graduate already aligned with industry standards.
Specialist software and computing labs – You’ll get access to professional tools like ANSYS, ETABS, SAFE, and LUSAS — the same software used by engineering firms for structural analysis and design. Dedicated computing labs on campus support this hands-on training.
Practical lab work – Alongside digital skills, you’ll also use civil engineering laboratories to test materials, study soil behaviour, and explore structural mechanics. This brings the theory from lectures to life.
Learning resources and support – UWL’s library and online platforms give you access to the latest journals, case studies, and technical papers, making sure your projects are backed up by current research and best practice.
Graduating from UWL’s Civil and Environmental Engineering degree opens doors to careers that shape the world we live in. Many of our students step into roles such as Civil Engineer, Environmental Engineer, Structural Design Engineer, or Project Manager, contributing to sustainable projects across the UK and beyond. Within 15 months of finishing, around 90% of graduates are in work or further study, often starting with average earnings of £30,000.
Here’s how UWL helps you get there:
Practical experience built in – you’ll complete a work-based project in your final year, giving you a real taste of how your skills apply in industry.
Career support every step of the way – UWL’s Careers team offers one-to-one advice, CV workshops, interview prep, and direct links to employers.
Strong industry recognition – the degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM), meaning it meets the professional standards set by leading engineering institutions (ICE, IStructE, CIHT, IHE, PWI). This accreditation is a huge step toward becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
Designed with industry input – course content is shaped by practising consultants and businesses, so you graduate with skills employers are actively looking for.
Long-term career value – the accreditation and career support ensure you’re well positioned for progression, whether that’s in consultancy, construction, infrastructure, or environmental innovation.
Further Academic Progression:
If you’d like to take your expertise further, you can continue your journey with a Master’s degree, such as UWL’s own MSc Civil and Environmental Engineering, which provides the advanced learning often required for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. You could also move into research with an MPhil or PhD, focusing on areas like sustainability, water resources, or structural innovation.
