Civil Engineering with Foundation Year

About this course

Civil engineering is among the oldest of the engineering disciplines, yet it addresses some of the newest and most pressing challenges facing modern societies. Infrastructure, bridges, roads, buildings, water supply systems, coastal defences, and drainage networks, shapes the physical environment that billions of people inhabit, and civil engineers are responsible for designing it, building it, and maintaining it safely over its working life. As cities grow, climate change intensifies, and materials and digital technologies evolve, civil engineering is being transformed as much as any other field. At the University of Plymouth, this four-year full-time programme with a foundation year provides an accessible pathway for students who want to develop the scientific and engineering foundations needed for degree-level civil engineering study before entering the main programme.
