You will be able to specialise in surveying or civil engineering at this point. Students studying surveying take options from a range of subjects that includes remote sensing and geographical information systems, and highway and transport studies. Civil engineering students may also select these options or may take other subjects such as building engineering or selected subjects from other departments. Teaching and assessment You will be taught by a combination of lectures, coursework and projects. Practising engineers act as advisors and also contribute to the lecture courses.
Assessment is by means of coursework, project work and examinations held at the end of each year.
Continuous assessment of course and practical work accounts for roughly 30 per cent of the marks each year. All years contribute to the final degree classification with increasing weight up to the final year. The BEng route is the standard honours degree course for those who want to become Chartered Engineers. You can study full time for three years, or take a four year sandwich course that includes a year in an industrial placement. Students on the sandwich course undertake the industrial placement between parts 2 and 3.
