Civil Engineering at UEL

The programme reflects current practices and gives students the opportunity to develop an understanding of engineering applications and learning skills. The programme contains a large proportion of laboratory and practical work to reinforce the theories and practices learnt in the classroom with 'hands on' experience developed through field courses. The programmes also provide an opportunity to study the fundamental knowledge and theories required by all Civil Engineers and apply these to the practical work environment.

AKMI Metropolitan College has constructed brand new labs for the delivery of the programme. The labs have all the equipment necessary to ensure the quality delivery of the programme.
