Integrated Foundation with Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Civil Engineering

A four year route opening with a foundation year, covering mathematics and science fundamentals before three years of the civil engineering science degree.

BCU runs civil engineering as both a science and an engineering degree, and this foundation route leads to the science version rather than the BEng.

Integrated Foundation with Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Civil Engineering is taught at the Birmingham City University, a UK university with degree awarding powers.
