BEng Civil Engineering

The Buckinghamshire New University BEng Civil Engineering Foundation Year is a four-year programme designed to build academic study skills and confidence for aspiring engineers. The initial foundation year helps students identify their strengths and development needs, preparing them for seamless progression onto the full undergraduate degree. 

This first year within the Engineering and Built Environment School shares a common curriculum, allowing students to establish strong foundations in various areas of engineering science. Following the foundation year, the BEng Civil Engineering course explores core topics such as structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering, and environmental engineering, with a central focus on sustainability and innovation. 

In this course, students engage in design projects and laboratory exercises simulating real-world challenges, applying theoretical knowledge and developing critical thinking skills. The programme also enhances employability through group projects and presentations, fostering communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and project management abilities.
