Curriculum Structure:

Year 1:
In the first year, students build a strong foundation in civil and environmental engineering principles. Core modules include Mathematics for Engineers, Fundamentals of Civil Engineering, and Environmental Science and Sustainability, providing the essential technical and scientific knowledge needed for more advanced study.

Year 2:
The second year focuses on applying theory to practice, with modules such as Structural Analysis, Hydraulics and Water Resources, and Sustainable Construction Materials. Students engage in practical labs, design projects, and team-based problem solving to develop real-world engineering skills.

Year 3:
In the final year, students consolidate their learning and undertake independent projects that address real environmental and civil engineering challenges. Modules include Environmental Impact Assessment, Advanced Structural Design, and a Final Year Engineering Project, preparing graduates for professional practice or further study.


Focus Areas: Civil Engineering, Environmental Management, Sustainable Infrastructure, Structural Design, Water Resources

Learning Outcomes: Apply engineering principles to solve environmental and civil challenges, design sustainable systems, conduct environmental impact assessments, and work effectively in professional engineering teams.

Professional Alignment (Accreditation): Accredited by relevant UK engineering bodies, supporting professional registration after graduation.

Reputation (Employability Rankings): Coventry University London is recognised for strong employability outcomes, with graduates securing roles in engineering consultancies, construction firms, and environmental agencies.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

Students gain hands-on experience through a variety of practical activities, using state-of-the-art laboratories, industry-standard software, and live project simulations to develop their engineering expertise. They learn not only in the classroom but also through collaborative group projects and site-based fieldwork, which bring theoretical concepts to life:

  • Access to modern civil engineering labs and environmental testing facilities

  • Use of industry-standard digital tools and software, including CAD and structural analysis programs

  • Field trips to construction sites and sustainable infrastructure projects
