Welcome to the Civil Engineering section of this online resource. Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with this programme, and don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Programme team for any queries.
Programme Intent
The intent of the programme is to provide a high-quality education in engineering. As a department, we aim to provide an education for the individual which enhances his/her prospects of professional employment in engineering and business both in national and international industries. All our undergraduate degrees are accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (comprised of the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, the Institute of Highway Engineers and the Permanent Way Institution), with the new Civil Engineer standard. Our programmes are aimed to provide studies that enable the apprentice to attain a high level of expertise in a range of topics specific to Civil Engineering and, in particular how to design and deliver infrastructure projects.
Implementation
Our engineering programmes are purposefully designed to enable all apprentices to engage meaningfully with the curriculum by being accessible and representative. We support apprentices to shape their learning experience. The curriculum explicitly includes multiple and representative perspectives, valuing collective identities and individual diversity. Learning, teaching and assessment activities help apprentices to understand how they can enhance outcomes both for themselves and for others.
Impact
To produce engineers who are ready to shape the engineering profession and have the latest knowledge of relevant technologies, methods and processes to enable them to contribute positively to the profession.

Preparing for EPA
A series of EPA workshops will be scheduled throughout the course to fully prepare the apprentices for what to expect and what to prepare for their EPA.
It is the role of the Mentor to officially sign the apprentice off as “occupationally competent” as an Engineer at the Gateway meeting, and the mentor is supported by the Tutor with all the information to make this decision. A comprehensive gateway to EPA Checklist underpins this activity. Our Head ELT will make all the necessary EPA arrangements in conjunction with the learner and the End Point Assessment Organisation.
All information will be found on the Programme site on Canvas under the EPA tab.
