IntroductionEngineering is fundamental to the economic and social prosperity of the UK. It is a “people serving” profession whose activities not only manage humankind’s environment but also create that environment itself. It requires well-qualified and motivated students who seek to be the future leaders within their profession. Your studies at Bradford will be a foundation for life aimed at developing an appreciation of technical and managerial principles and competence in their application using a wide range of personal and professional skills. Our commitment to this integration is such that we strongly encourage you to undertake a 12-month industrial placement as an integral part of your degree studies. Upon graduation you will have the educational background and capacity for professional growth necessary to seek Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. The MEng (Hons) Civil and Structural Engineering is designed to develop graduates who can provide the future leadership of the profession via abilities to deal with the complexities of the industry, demonstrate originality in problem solving and accept a high level of responsibility for their own work and personal development. The ability of such an engineer is also widely appreciated by many other professions and your studies may well be a stepping-stone to an alternative career in accountancy, teaching, law etc – a real

foundation for life. The Joint Board of Moderators’ accreditation ensures that the MEng degree meets the highest international standards.The School places emphasis on both teaching and research, believing them to be mutually dependent. We have particular research strengths in environmental water engineering, environmental acoustics, underground technologies, geotechnics and structural engineering. Your studies in later stages of the programme will benefit from this expertise and you will undertake individual project work in one of these areas where you will be expected to display a considerable amount of initiative. We aim to produce MEng graduates who are imaginative, innovative, versatile and competitive, who will be able to progress rapidly to professional positions of responsibility with minimal additional training, and who can provide technical, managerial and entrepreneurial leadership in specialist/interdisciplinary projects. This aim is achieved by:

Delivering a range of programmes of study with a degree of commonality of core material in the early years, which is then developed into advanced concepts, techniques and discipline specialities in the later years. You will increasingly study with engineers of other disciplines and develop capabilities of multi-disciplinary teamwork;

Providing a supportive, structured environment in which students are encouraged to develop independent learning skills. Approximately half of your study in stages 3 and 4 will involve project or design work undertaken either individually or in groups;

Developing a broad, deep subject knowledge and understanding, developing advanced discipline skills, providing an enhanced level of business and management knowledge and developing personal transferable skills, all of which enable graduates to pursue programmes of further study, or to move quickly into leadership roles of responsible employment;

Promoting educational opportunities for ethnic minority, women, mature and alternatively qualified students, as well as for school-leavers and traditionally qualified students.

Programme AimsThe programme is intended to

enable graduates to develop the engineering, design, management, leadership, business and personal skills required to become professional Civil and/or Structural Engineers and in doing so, also equip them for careers in other professions.

provide the educational base (in compliance with UK-SPEC) to permit progression to Chartered Membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers and/or the Institution of Structural Engineers and registration with ECUK as a Chartered Engineer.

provide a challenging programme in terms of technical breadth and depth as well as supporting managerial and transferable skills in keeping UK-SPEC requirements of an accredited MEng programme.

Teaching and Assessment strategies

The teaching and learning strategy takes into consideration the learning outcomes, progression through the levels of study, the nature of the subject and the student intake, and the need for you to take greater responsibility for your own learning as you progress through the programme. The strategies and methods implemented are:

The teaching and learning methods implemented to engage you in developing your knowledge and understanding of the programme include formal lectures (including those from Visiting Lecturers), case studies, tutorial exercises, practical demonstrations, directed learning and individual work. The method of assessment is by written examination and both analytical and experimental coursework.

The methods implemented in developing your intellectual skills include engaging with you during tutorial exercises, case studies, practical demonstration and supervised research or project work. You will develop skills of working with other engineering disciplines particularly in the Interdisciplinary Competitive Design module. In Stage 4 you will also learn the skills associated with designing and executing your own research project. The methods of assessment of intellectual skills are implicit in the written examinations, analytical and experimental coursework and more particularly in your Final Year Project work.

The methods implemented in developing your practical skills include demonstrations and practicals linked with the taught modules. You will also design and operate equipment and/or procedures and use control and measuring instruments under supervision during your project work. The methods of assessment of practical skills include feedback on laboratory work linked with the taught modules. Also a large part of the mark of the Project report will be attributed to the Experimental Method and Equipment and the Presentation & Discussion of Results.

The methods implemented in developing the students’ transferable skills are implicit in the programme. The University of Bradford is well known for attracting students from a wide variety of background, experiences and countries. This and the learning facilities available to all students provide the conditions for students to develop and manage their learning. The University of Bradford modus operandi, Making Knowledge Work, is imbedded in the philosophy of this programme, particularly in the area of Engineering, Design and Technology, which is well equipped with practical and computational facilities. In particular, you will learn skills of mentoring colleagues in the Coaching Development module in which you will work with Stage 1 students to support their introduction to their

programme of study. The methods of assessment of transferable skills are built in the structure of the examinations, case studies, laboratory demonstrations and research or project work.

Assessment RegulationsWhilst this Programme conforms to the general principles set out in the standard University Assessment Regulations which are available at the link below, http://www.bradford.ac.uk/academic-quality-unit/ordinances-and-regulations-for-taught-courses/ the following exception(s) apply to these regulations:

1. Students must pass the final year project at 1st attempt.

2. Where an element of assessment for a module has a weighting of 30% or more, a minimum mark of 30% must be obtained in that element, as well as an overall pass mark being obtained for a module to be deemed a pass.

3. To progress to a following stage of a MEng programme, a stage average of 60% must be obtained.

4. Students will be permitted a maximum of 20 credits of supplementary assessment in stages 2, 3 & 4 for the purpose of achieving a module pass mark or for improving their stage average.

For your award to be accredited by the professional body, the final award classification must be 2:2 level or above.

If the above requirements are not met, but the University’s undergraduate regulations are complied with, then a non-accredited MEng will be awarded.

Admissions RequirementsThe University welcomes applications from all potential students regardless of their previous academic experience; offers are made following detailed consideration of each individual application. Most important in the decision to offer a place is our assessment of a candidate’s potential to benefit from their studies and of their ability to succeed on this particular programme. Entrance requirements for each programme will vary but consideration of your application will be based on a combination of your formal academic qualifications and other relevant experience.

If you have prior certificated learning or professional experience which may be equivalent to parts of this programme, the University has procedures to evaluate this learning in order to provide you with exemptions from specified modules contained within the curriculum. Please talk to us if you do not fit the standard pattern of entry qualifications.

The University of Bradford has always welcomed applications from disabled students, and these will be considered on the same academic grounds as are applied to all applicants. We are continually reviewing and developing our practices and policies to make the University more inclusive, but if you are disabled we may need to make some adjustments to make sure that you are not disadvantaged. We would advise you to contact the programme leader before you apply to discuss these.

We operate a combined admission to the MEng and BEng in Civil and Structural Engineering. In addition to a degree, successful completion of the programme will give candidates a recognised professional qualification; applicants must therefore achieve a minimum of 260 UCAS tariff points if they are seeking entry to the BEng through the UCAS main Scheme. If you can offer 300 points including A-level Mathematics at a minimum of B, you will immediately be registered for the MEng. An advanced mathematics qualification, such as A Level, is a requirement for direct MEng registration. Nevertheless, offers are only made after detailed consideration of each individual application and the precise requirements we ask of candidates will vary. We also pay considerable attention to an applicant’s academic background and achievements and to all other non-standard qualifications or who, lacking academic qualifications, have significant relevant experience.

Upon completion of a UCAS form you will be invited to the School for an Open Day and interview when you will have the opportunity to meet staff, view the facilities and discuss “the Bradford experience” with current students. You will be made aware of the range of programmes available within the School covering technology and design together with a Foundation Year attracting a typical offer of 200 points.

English Language RequirementsAll students must satisfy the English language requirements for admission as described in http:// www.bradford.ac.uk/international/before-you-apply/english-language-requirements/

If your native language is not English, you will have to pass a test in English approved by the University before you can be admitted. The following qualifications are acceptable as satisfying this requirement. Both are available internationally.

The International English Language Testing Service Test (IELTS) administered by the British Council is the test which is preferred by the University. You will need to achieve an Overall Band of at least 6, with at least 5.5 in each of the four sub-tests. Testing facilities are available at most British Council overseas offices. When you take your test, you should ask for a copy of your Test Report Form to be sent to the University.

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) administered by the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540, USA. You will need to achieve an overall score of at least 80*, and sub-tests not less than 18 in Reading, 17 in Writing, 17 in Listening and 20 in Speaking. If you take this test, you should enter the University’s code 0828, on your answer sheet.

Should you not be able to offer these grades then you should contact the Admissions Tutor for further advice as the University provides a number of pre-sessional English programmes for international students.
