Overview

About this course

The Pearson BTEC Higher National Diploma in Civil Engineering is taught by the Department of Civil Engineering at CINEC Campus over two years, full-time. The page lists a February commencement that can be taken while A-Level results are pending. Level 4 units include a construction design project, science and materials, the construction environment, surveying and setting out, mathematics for construction, civil engineering technology, principles of structural design, and geotechnics and soil mechanics. Level 5 adds a group project, advanced structural design, advanced construction drawing and detailing, construction technology for complex buildings, further mathematics, personal professional development, highway engineering and hydraulics. Three academic semesters are followed by a compulsory six-month industrial training period, which CINEC states is required for graduation from every BTEC HND. People working in civil engineering may join a weekend programme after a special evaluation of their English and mathematics.
