Specialise in the design and analysis of built environment projects, focusing on infrastructure.
With challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity, engineers have an important part to play in designing, planning and future-proofing our built environment - structures like bridges, roads, airports and flood defence.
You’ll learn to carry out site investigations and land surveys, select materials, analyse and design infrastructure and engineering systems and plan the construction process. There’s a strong focus on sustainability and understanding the environmental impact of your work. You’ll also become skilled at using computer-aided design and specialist software.
Outside of the lab, there’s the chance to join lectures given by guest speakers, and take part in two week-long construction projects.
Why ARU?
You'll be immersed in an integrated learning environment designed to foster environmentally sustainable approaches
We intertwine in-class engineering theory, in-lab hands-on experience, and on-site practical construction activities throughout our course
Bring the world of work to life through Live Briefs, developed with regional employers to give you exposure to ‘real world’ problem-solving
Our course is developed by a dynamic collaboration of staff, students, and leading regional companies, meaning students on this course have maximum opportunity to gain critical skills for employment

As a student at ARU, you’ll work on practical projects from day one. We start with the feasibility stage of a built environment project: producing topographical surveys, investigating materials, and designing a structure.
You’ll learn mathematics for engineering, 2D drafting techniques and Building Information Modelling (BIM). You’ll also cover construction materials, structural analysis, hydraulic and geotechnical engineering and explore financial and legal considerations.
You’ll use your knowledge of structures, geotechnics and hydraulics to analyse a design project and suggest improvements that could be made from a technical, construction and environmental point of view.
We also visit construction sites, hear from guest speakers, and look at jobs available in engineering, design and construction.
This is the equal consideration deadline. You can still apply after this date, but your application may not receive guaranteed consideration.

What does this TEF outcome mean?
The following entry points are available for this course:
If you have achieved at least grade E in one A level, or equivalent, you are exempt from the two years post-GCSE study requirement, but you still must meet the GCSE requirements.
Applicants who do not meet the two years post GCSE study at level 3 may be considered based on their satisfactory employment history, which must be a minimum of two years full time employment supported by employer evidence and deemed appropriate by the University for meeting the course of study applied for. https://www.aru.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/civil-engineering-beng
