Direct engagement with the Industrial Advisory Committee (IAC)—one of the largest panels of practising engineers in the UK—sits at the heart of this programme, ensuring your education remains aligned with current professional challenges and industry standards. By bridging the gap between theoretical study and real-world application, the course provides a robust platform for career development long before graduation.

Students benefit from a professional ecosystem that includes:

• Professional Networking: Frequent site visits and guest lectures coordinated through the IAC, alongside active encouragement to join the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and participate in their dedicated Plymouth City club events.
• Industry Partnerships: Strong links with the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA), offering students recognition for excellence in placement roles.
• JBM Accreditation: All progression routes are accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators, encompassing the ICE, IStructE, IHE, and CIHT. This provides a clear academic pathway toward professional registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Professional Integration

This course prioritises employability by integrating professional development into the curriculum, allowing you to build a network of mentors and peers within the civil engineering sector while you learn.
