Study Abroad

MEng in Civil Engineering with Study in Continental Europe (H201)

The growth of multi-national construction companies has brought an urgent need for graduates with good language skills. We have been running a European MEng degree to meet this need for over fifteen years and our graduates are highly sought after.

The first two years are similar to the regular MEng (H200) except that language instruction in French, German, Spanish or Italian is mandatory (according to your choice of country for your year abroad). The third year is spent at a European university studying and taking exams in the language of the country. At present we have student exchange agreements with a large number of European universities including Grenoble, Lyon, Toulouse, Hannover, Innsbruck, Vienna, Barcelona, Valencia, Perugia, Benevento and Gothenburg.

In the fourth year, European MEng students take the same core fourth year units as H200 students, plus other third year units to complement your studies during your year abroad. You will do either a major design project or an investigative project in your final year, depending on your project work abroad.

(You can apply for the H201 course directly through UCAS or you can transfer to H201 from H200 on arrival at Bristol).

Study Abroad Outside Europe (H202 - via transfer from H200 or H201)

We are expanding our Study Abroad programme to allow well-qualified students to spend their third year in North American or Australian universities. At present we have exchange arrangements with the University of California at Berkeley, San Diego, Irvine and Davis; the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign; Purdue University in Indiana; the University of Washington in Seattle; McGill University in Montreal, the University of Toronto; the University of Sydney; and the University of Western Australia in Perth.
