The BEng Civil Engineering degree apprenticeship has been developed in partnership with a group of employers. A sub-set of employers contributing to the degree apprenticeship programme are: Arup; Buckingham Group; London Bridge Associates; Keller, J Murphy & Sons; Mott MacDonald; Tata Steel and Warwickshire County Council.

While study on this programme learning will also happen at your place of work and this studying contributes to your overall degree qualification. As a degree apprentice you will be a full salaried employee. You’ll be working as part of a team with real responsibility giving you hands-on, vocational training every day. At work, you will be supported in your role by both your line manager and employer mentor. The mentor will be supporting you working towards satisfying a number of attributes with a Professional Institution, which currently is the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), via their training agreement for the IEng professional engineer qualification.

After being awarded your BEng (Honours) Civil and Infrastructure Engineering degree and meeting the requirements of ICE you will be entitled to take the end point assessment, as specified in the Civil Engineer Standard, for IEng membership.

Our programme has been set-up to accommodate both School Leavers (new entrants directy into the business) and existing staff (for upskilling).

Entry requirements for the BEng Civil and Infrastructure Engineering Degree Apprenticeship are:

Candidates with non-traditional qualifications will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be dependent on the employer’s recruitment process, and subject to passing appropriate assessment on Mathematics set by The University of Warwick. We encourage applicants with non-standard qualifications to contact us to discuss their eligibility. For any questions relating to entry requirements please contact a member of the admissions team via eng.apprenticeships@warwick.ac.uk.

BTEC:

BTEC Diploma grade D*D*, with an A grade A level Mathematics or subject to passing appropriate assessment in mathematics.

BTEC Extended Diploma grade DDD including the two Mathematics units, 'Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems' and 'Further Engineering Mathematics'.

A Level: AAA

AAA grades at A level, to include Mathematics and a Physical Science. Applicants with strong profile but without A level Mathematics will be subject to passing appropriate assessment.

Where a candidate has already gained an undergraduate degree this may be offered to meet entry requirements. Please note that, due to the funded nature of a Degree Apprenticeship programme, applicants with undergraduate degrees in comparable subjects may not be eligible to be recruited.

Level 2

All apprentices are required to have Level 2 English and Maths prior to taking the End Point Assessment and these Level 2 qualifications are expected as an entry requirement.

This exact make-up of the Civil Engineer Degree Apprenticeship programme will be developed in partnership with your employer, and this may result in minor alterations to this structure and/or individual modules.

Degree apprenticeships offer apprentices a debt-free route to academic study whilst earning a salary. As an employee of a company the University fees will be funded by way of the UK government's Apprenticeship Levy, and this funding will be part of your employment conditions.

If you’re over 16 and live in England then you may be eligible to undertake a Degree Apprenticeship. Citizens of EEA countries, or non-EEA citizens legally resident in the UK for at least the previous three years before the start of the apprenticeship (NOT for educational purpose) may also be eligible.

This BEng (Hons) Accredited CEng (Partial) degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprising the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, the Institute of Highway Engineers and the Permanent Way Institution on behalf of the Engineering Council as:

 1. fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).
 2. partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

A programme of accredited Further Learning will be required to complete the educational base for CEng. See www.jbm.org.ukLink opens in a new window for further information and details of Further Learning programmes for CEng.
