ME Pathway (Civil, Structural and Environmental) Engineering
Overview
Students entering Third Year may at the end of Third Year register for the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway (Civil, Structural and Environmental). Students who choose not/are not eligible to register for the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway (Civil, Structural and Environmental) will continue to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons) (Civil, Structural and Environmental).
Entry to the ME in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering
Entry to the ME in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering is determined based on student performance during Third Year. Students who pass the Third University Examination in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, achieving at least a 2H2 will be eligible to register for Fourth Year of the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway (Civil, Structural and Environmental). In the case of students that have completed one full semester or a full year of studies abroad during Third Year, performance during the Second Year is taken into consideration, with a minimum of 2H1 in the Second Year Examination required for eligibility, in addition to passing the Third Year examination. Students who are eligible to register for the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway (Civil, Structural and Environmental), but choose not to, will continue to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons) (Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering). Students passing the Third University Examination in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering who are ineligible to register for the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway (Civil, Structural and Environmental) will continue to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons) (Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering).
Change of Registration to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons) (Civil, Structural and Environmental)
A student may elect to change registration to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons) provided formal notification is received by the Student Records and Examinations Office (sreo@ucc.ie) before the end of Week 8 of Semester 1 of Fourth Year.
Note: Elective modules are offered subject to timetabling and other constraints and should be chosen in consultation with the programme director.
