A student must have been awarded 120 credits at Level 3 to proceed to Level 4. A student who does not fulfill these criteria may be transferred onto the MEng Structural Engineering with Architectural Studies (CIVU19) programme, if a minimum of 110 credits have been awarded at Level 3. A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be permitted by the Faculty to be awarded the Degree of BEng Structural Engineering with Architectural Studies (CIVU20) but will be ineligible for the award of that Degree with Honours.

Year 4


units (120 credits)
4A
A student will take

Full academic year
CIV395  Year in Industry ACAD YR 120 credits

4B

A student will take CIV395 Year in Industry before proceeding to Level 5. A student will be responsible for securing a suitable industrial placement in order to take CIV395 Year in Industry. The appropriateness of the placement will be determined by the department's Year in Industry Tutor. A student who fails to obtain a suitable placement will instead be required to become a student for the degree of MEng in Structural Engineering and Architecture (CIVU12).


4C

CIV395 requires that a student will spend a minimum of 38 weeks working in an industrial establishment, the arrangements being subject to the approval of the department's Year in Industry Tutor. A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the degree MEng Structural Engineering and Architecture (CIVU12).

5C

Following the failure of an ARC Semester 1 module, or CIV406, to the maximum value of ten credits taken at Level 5, a student will be allowed to resit the module within the same academic session in order to satisfy the programme's accreditation requirements.


5D

When the department has approved a Change of Status to transfer from a RIBA accredited programme to a programme that is not RIBA accredited, a student should be allowed to have their component marks for architecture modules averaged and any associated credits released. Students who benefit from this regulation whereby a module may be passed without all components being passed would not be eligible to transfer back onto the accredited course.


5E

A student must pass CIV4009 (Independent Research Project) at the first attempt in order to be eligible for the award of the Degree of MEng in Structural Engineering and Architecture with a Year in Industry (CIVU112). A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be awarded the Degree of BEng in Structural Engineering with Architectural Studies with a Year in Industry (CIVU120) but will be ineligible for the award of that Degree with Honours.


5F

A student must pass units ARC356, ARC327, ARC375, ARC378 and CIV406 in order to be eligible for the award of MEng in Structural Engineering and Architecture (CIVU12). A student must also achieve a grade of greater than or equal to 40 in CIV4181 or CIV61016, and CIV485 in order to be eligible for the award of MEng in Structural Engineering and Architecture with a Year in Industry (CIVU112). A student who fails to meet this requirement, but fulfills the general regulations in relation to First Degrees, may be permitted by the Faculty to be awarded the Degree of MEng in Structural Engineering with Architectural Studies with a Year in Industry (CIVU119)
