Curriculum
This existing BSc program is divided into logical semesters and all units are properly described and have learning objectives and outcomes in line with the National Qualifications Framework and the Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area. There are three slightly different versions of the qualification (Infrastructure Engineering, Traffic and Transport Engineering and Urban Planning and Mobility) with much of the content generic and only Semester 5 which differs slightly.
The semesters have a balance and a ‘flow’ which allows students time to ensure that both knowledge and understanding can be embedded. Final placements in industry and the service industries enables students to properly prepare for employment whilst gaining important information in relation to the latest technologies and current and future priorities.
