Queen's University Belfast

Civil Engineering Higher Level Apprenticeship BEng

Queen's University BelfastBelfast, United Kingdom

Course overview

You will be tackling some of the biggest challenges of the modern world, such as achieving sustainable living in an increasingly urbanised society. As the demands on resources like water, energy and land increase, there is a strong need for qualified Civil Engineers with the relevant technical skills but who also possess an ethical awareness of the environmental impact of the projects they undertake. It is a broad discipline that deals with the very infrastructure of society from our bridges to our water and energy resources, and our roads.

Our degree programmes are concerned with the planning, design, construction, sustainability, management and maintenance of this infrastructure. Fields of activity include structures, transportation, foundations and water engineering. The programme aims to produce apprentices equipped for professional roles in industry, the professions and public service.

The programme will be submitted to Joint Board of Moderators for accreditation as meeting the academic requirements for IEng and Partial CEng. Civil Engineering was one of the founding degrees at Queen's, making it one of the oldest in the UK and Ireland. Staff lead high-quality research and are recognised for their excellence in teaching.
