Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
(Civil and Construction Engineering)

Civil engineers design and construct bridges, roads, harbours, highways, dams, irrigation and water supplies, hydro-electric projects, high-rise buildings and other prominent structures. As our built environment becomes increasingly complicated, ambitious construction projects can only be completed by teams of people with different skills, working together.

The civil engineer is important in this process. You will learn to apply your basic engineering knowledge for structural analysis and design, materials, geotechnical engineering, construction engineering, hydraulics and professional practice.

Entry Criteria

Eligibility for the programme is as follows:

GCE Advanced Level (local): Minimum of 2 “C” passes and 1 “S” pass in the Physical Science Stream (Combined Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry) in one and the same sitting, with a "C" pass for Mathematics OR Physics). OR GCE Advanced Level (Cambridge or Edexcel): Minimum of 2 “C” passes and 1 “D” pass in one and the same sitting, with a "C" pass in Mathematics OR Physics
A pass in the Aptitude Test conducted by SLIIT.

Students may also apply with pending Advance Level Results.

In your final year, you will consolidate these engineering skills to the level of an engineering graduate. Speciality options include the environment, transport, public health or advanced structural design.

Civil engineers design and construct our infrastructure. They are key members of teams involved in the design and construction of buildings, bridges, roads, highways, harbours, dams, irrigation and water supplies, municipal infrastructure and other large structures and projects.
As our built environment becomes increasingly complicated, ambitious construction projects can only be completed by teams of people with different skills, working together. The civil engineer is central to this process.
In your first two years you will develop basic scientific, mathematical and practical skills. You will learn how to use these skills to solve engineering problems, first in the Engineering Year One and then by developing specific civil engineering attributes in second year.
In your third year you will learn to apply these skills in structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulics, construction and professional practice.
In your final year, you will integrate your design, construction and management skills in large civil engineering projects, undertake a major research project, and select units from specialty options in structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources and environmental engineering.
Examples of project topics include structural integrity analysis and design, construction materials science or pavement design, water quality, water systems design, and construction management applications.

Top 100 in the world for Civil and Structural Engineering - QS Rankings 2019
Civil engineers are currently in very high demand and this trend is expected to remain long into the future.
This professional and practically-orientated course is highly prized by graduates and respected by professional engineers.
It is in effect two degrees, civil engineering and construction engineering, combined into one fully comprehensive course.
It gives a qualification that equips graduates to be work ready as soon as they graduate.
Upon graduation you may find employment with consulting engineers, large contractors, specialist subcontractors and government authorities who are working to meet the challenges of creating and maintaining our infrastructure.
Later in your career, you may choose to establish your own consultancy as an expert in your field. Civil and construction engineers have skills that are readily transferable between employers and they often find work internationally.
