Civil Engineering

The courses will take up to five years to complete, depending on previous qualifications and the course chosen. The apprenticeships comprise on-the-job practical training with academic learning. This approach combines face-to-face teaching, laboratory workshops, reflective practice and formal assessment.

The experiential learning element of the courses focuses on the apprentice’s workplace and specific areas of project work they are undertaking with regard to meeting key attributes required of a professionally recognised Civil Engineer.

Apprentices will work towards the integrated end point assessment for this Degree Apprenticeship via independent review. Employers also engage with professional development to help the apprentice progress throughout their training.

Apprentices will be required to attend the university on a day release basis.

96 UCAS points or equivalent required. Apprenticeship candidates will typically have at least 3 A-Levels, including at least one science or numerate subject. Advanced Entry at Level 5 is available for those who have a suitable Level 4 qualification, such as a HNC in Civil Engineering or a Level 4 apprenticeship in Civil Engineering. GCSE English Language Grade 4 or above (Grade C for GCSEs taken before 2017) or equivalent required. Key Skills Level 2, Functional Skills Level 2 and the Certificate in Adult Literacy are accepted in place of GCSEs.

Please note applications are submitted through the relevant employer, not directly from applicants.
