Course description
This programme is designed for those who wish to pursue a career in civil engineering, but with an emphasis on French or German language and practice
Students in France spend the third year with ENTPE, a leading Grand Ecole in civil engineering, in Lyon.
The first two years of the programme are in common with the first two years of the School's other MEng programmes in Civil Engineering with a special bias, instead of optional courses, in French or German. In year 3, spent in France or Germany, you continue to follow the core areas of the Manchester-based MEng programme, along with options relating to French/German or European civil engineering practice. Additional language tuition is available.
The fourth year consists of a selection of course units from the third and fourth years of the other MEng Civil Engineering programmes.
