Curriculum & modules
Real modules published for this course, grouped only where the source gives a year, stage or level.
Year 1 4 modules
- Civil Engineering Materials and Soils
Module details
The aim of this module is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of materials used in civil engineering and construction. The emphasis is on knowledge and understanding of the physical properties and embodied carbon in materials including environmental and sustainable considerations relating to their source, manufacture, use and disposal.
Assessment: project and laboratory activities
- Land Surveying, Drawing and Measurement
Module details
This module has three distinct component parts: land surveying, drawings, and measurement. Through hands-on experience with professional surveying equipment and real-world fieldwork applications, you will develop industry-relevant competencies required in construction management, civil engineering, and building surveying roles.
- Engineering principles
Module details
The aim of the module is to introduce the foundational principles of statics, dynamics and mathematics for engineering. It explores the different types of stresses that materials undergo and how these materials respond under the influence of such stresses.
Assessment: in-class tests and laboratory activities
- Interdisciplinary Design Project 1
Module details
This is the first in a series of Interdisciplinary Design Projects that continue in each year of the programme. The module integrates the skills and knowledge acquired on the programme to date and you will work within interdisciplinary groups from across the SETEC undergraduate programmes.
Year 2 4 modules
- Structural Analysis and Design
Module details
This module covers structural design processes in concrete, masonry, timber, and steel, emphasizing elastic structural analysis methods and virtual work. You will gain proficiency in analysing elastic indeterminate structures and understanding loadings and structural stability.
Assessment: in-class tests and laboratory activities
- Soil Mechanics
Module details
This module aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of soil mechanics and its applications in Civil Engineering. The module is structured to develop understanding of the fundamental principles governing site investigation methodologies, laboratory testing of soils, and hence soil behaviour.
- Fluid Mechanics
Module details
This module will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of fluid mechanics, focusing on the principles that govern fluid behaviour and their applications in civil engineering.
Assessment: in-class tests and laboratory reports
- Interdisciplinary Design Project 2
Module details
In this module you will apply the knowledge and skills acquired at Level 4 and during Level 5 to a multi-faceted design problem of a building or part of one, develop holistic design thinking, further embed approaches to design that are sustainable and carbon neutral.

Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
The BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering degree at Roehampton focuses on structural, environmental, and transportation engineering with emphasis on sustainability and innovation. A course like this typically moves from engineering foundations in Year 1, including mathematics, mechanics and materials, and design skills, through to specialist depth in Years 2 and 3. Year 2 usually introduces discipline-specific modules in areas such as thermodynamics and fluids, alongside engineering analysis, computing, and a group design project. In Year 3, you'll choose from specialisations such as civil and structural, energy and sustainability, or the Chartered (CEng) pathway, and complete professional engineering practice and an individual project that forms the centrepiece of your degree.
Who it's for
You're suited to this degree if you combine mathematical confidence with curiosity about how the built environment works, from bridges and water systems to transport networks. You'll thrive if you enjoy problem-solving, want hands-on engagement with design and materials, and care about sustainability. The course demands rigorous thinking alongside practical application: expect both demanding theory and time in laboratories or on site. If you're drawn to shaping infrastructure that serves communities, this degree offers that direction.
Careers & job market
Across engineering nationally, 90% of graduates are in work or further study within 15 months of graduating, and 80% of working graduates are in highly skilled roles or pursuing additional qualifications.

International students
What applying to Roehampton University from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £20,280 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
This course lists IELTS: 5.5. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check Roehampton University’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with Roehampton University and gov.uk before you apply.

What do graduates earn?
See the career and earnings data for Engineering below (national Graduate Outcomes / LEO figures).
What will it cost me?
For comparison, the standard full-time England tuition cap is up to £9,790 per year in 2026/27; the actual fee varies by course and provider. If you normally live in England, eligible students can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan, plus a Maintenance Loan for living costs. Under Plan 5 you repay 9% of income above £25,000, nothing below that, and the balance is written off after 40 years. See Fees & funding on this page to work out your numbers.
