bsc (hons) Civil Engineering (Geoinformatics)

Course Description

Study Civil Engineering (Geoinformatics) at Ulster University in the United Kingdom. Civil Engineering has a multi-level career structure comprising Chartered, Incorporated and Technician Engineers and Civil Engineering Surveyors. The BSc Honours programme satisfies the most appropriate training for the Incorporated Engineer and follows the guidelines of the Engineering Council for the education and placement training of Incorporated Engineers. It also satisfies the academic base for membership of the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors. The programme provides a high level of technical design proficiency and a sound knowledge of civil engineering and construction infrastructure. The third year of the programme is a mandatory period of Industrial Placement. We strongly believe that this experience sets the context of final year studies and potentially enhances employment prospects. A Diploma in Professional Practice (DPP) is awarded to students who satisfactorily complete their placement. The Geoinformatics used in the title of our course refers to the high level of surveying and engineering GIS (Geographic Information System). In addition to the usual modules studied in Civil Engineering, each year of the programme includes a Surveying or Engineering GIS module to develop a working knowledge of geospatial principles and practices. These skills are highly desirable in modern engineering practice.
