Civil and Environmental Engineering BEng (Hons)

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Coventry University London

Program Overview

The Civil and Environmental Engineering BEng (Hons) at Coventry University is a three-year undergraduate program designed to provide students with a strong foundation in both civil and environmental engineering principles. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, preparing graduates for careers in infrastructure, environmental consultancy, and sustainable engineering.

Year 1: Students focus on the fundamental principles of engineering, mathematics, and physics, along with introductory civil and environmental engineering modules. Emphasis is placed on understanding materials, structures, and the environmental impact of engineering projects.

Year 2: The program advances into core civil and environmental subjects, including structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics, environmental management, and sustainable design. Practical laboratory work and group design projects help students apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios.

Year 3: The final year centres on specialised and professional modules, including advanced environmental engineering, construction management, and infrastructure design. Students undertake an individual or group final-year project, synthesising all the skills and knowledge gained throughout the degree.

Curriculum Structure:

  • Core Engineering Modules: Structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources, environmental management, and sustainability.

  • Laboratory and Design Work: Hands-on modules in construction materials, environmental monitoring, and engineering design.

  • Capstone Project: A final-year project allowing students to independently research and implement engineering solutions to practical challenges.

Accreditation:
The program is accredited by relevant professional bodies in the UK, ensuring that it meets industry standards and supports graduate progression towards professional recognition.

Campus Location:
Coventry University is located in Coventry, United Kingdom, offering students access to modern engineering labs, workshops, and sustainable design facilities, supporting a practical learning environment.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

Coventry University places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning:

  • Industrial Placements and Internships: Opportunities to gain experience at engineering firms, environmental consultancies, and construction companies.

  • Laboratory and Fieldwork: Extensive practical work in labs and on-site locations, helping students connect theory with real-world engineering challenges.

  • Student Societies and Competitions: Participation in civil engineering societies, sustainability projects, and national design competitions fosters teamwork, innovation, and professional skills.

  • International Exposure: Optional opportunities to engage in global projects, study visits, and collaborations, broadening students’ perspectives on civil and environmental engineering.

Progression & Future Opportunities

The university’s Careers and Employability Service supports students with:

  • Career advice and planning tailored to civil and environmental engineering.

  • CV and application workshops, interview preparation, and networking opportunities.

  • Access to on-campus recruitment events and industry fairs.

Employability:
Graduates are well-prepared for roles in civil engineering, environmental consultancy, sustainable infrastructure, and public sector projects. Alumni have pursued careers at engineering firms, environmental agencies, and research institutions, both in the UK and internationally.

Further Academic Progression:
Students may continue their studies through master’s programs in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Sustainable Infrastructure, or Construction Management, or explore interdisciplinary postgraduate options such as Project Management or Environmental Policy.
