Students must have studied a minimum of two years post GCSE level. However, it is expected that some applicants will be mature students with work experience, who wish to further their career development. These applicants will be processed through standard procedures, which may involve an interview as part of the process.
Those who do not meet the entry requirements may be offered an alternative course.
The HND Civil Engineering course is intended as a vocational qualification within the Civil Engineering industry. It more than satisfies the educational base for becoming a Professional Engineering Technician. In addition, it provides a progression route onto the BSc (Hons) Civil & Environmental Engineering degree course which is professionally accredited as meeting the educational base for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).
address industry’s demand for technicians who can integrate the principles and applications of civil engineering, and apply them to infrastructure and construction projects, in a technical context.
enable students to advance their existing careers in civil engineering to a higher level which requires the exercise of judgement, and the ability to make decisions that reflect a responsible and ethical outlook.
furnish students with a technical understanding of the fundamentals of geotechnics leading to some simplified analysis and design, the principles of structural design, including material properties, an understanding of fluid flows, a practical understanding of current surveying techniques, as well as transportation and sustainability issues.
provide a broadly based education in civil engineering, allowing scope for continued development into a wide range of disciplines within the civil engineering and construction related areas.

The HND Civil Engineering course has been designed to cater for both school leavers and practitioners and trainees who want to further their professional development within the industry.
The civil engineering staff, at the University of Wolverhampton, engage closely with the students. This enables the staff and students to get to know each other well and to develop personal relationships which help with both studying and dealing with emotional and professional development.
Graduates of the course can progress onto the BSc (Hons) Civil & Environmental Engineering degree.
Lecturers on this course are a blend of respected academics and experienced professionals. Students are exposed to a sound theoretical base coupled with numerous practical examples and exercises.
The civil engineering section has excellent links with local civil engineering companies as well as the local branches of the professional bodies, namely the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Structural Engineers. Students are actively encouraged to become student members of the ICE and IStructE. The course enables students to prepare the necessary documentation needed to become a registered engineering technician. Note that a technician professional review will still be required.

Civil engineering technicians are employed by contractors and consulting engineers, and in mainstream organisations such as local authorities, public bodies and government departments concerned with the Built Environment.
You may also have the exciting opportunity to work on national and international infrastructure projects.
Successful completion of the HND in Civil Engineering provides the opportunity for you to progress with advanced entry onto the BSc (Hons) Civil and Environmental Engineering.
These could then lead to Incorporated or Chartered Civil Engineer status.
