Entry requirements

You should have an honours degree (2:2 or above) in civil engineering or another engineering qualification at an equivalent level. We may also offer you a place based on a combination of an ordinary degree (e.g. BSc/BEng in engineering without honours) together with relevant experience from within the work environment. All applications are considered individually. You need to meet English language competency at either IELTS 6.5 or above overall, and a minimum of 5.5 for each of the four individual components (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening), or Pearson PTE Academic at a score of 51 or above, or an equivalent secure English language test. You also need comparable qualifications at the same level as UK applicants. You will be considered individually, and your qualifications are assessed for comparability with equivalent UK qualifications using information produced for universities by the National Academic Recognition Information Centre for the United Kingdom (UK NARIC). You will be interviewed by a representative from the International Office to establish whether you are capable of coping with the numerical aspects of the course.
