ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The Bridging Programme is open to students who have completed a diploma or associate degree in related disciplines from the Kingdom of Bahrain or an equivalent qualification from abroad, provided the certificate is accredited by the relevant authorities in the issuing country. This programme aligns with the Engineering Council UK (ECUK) Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). The curriculum develops core engineering numerical abilities alongside creative and enquiry-based thinking required by employers. Students gain a solid foundation to enter the civil engineering industry with the skills needed to excel in a competitive environment. The programme leads to a dual award from the Applied Science University (ASU Bahrain) and London South Bank University (LSBU-UK). |
AIMS OF THE PROGRAMME
1. Graduates will be prepared for a professional career in the civil engineering industry with diverse employers across different countries. 2. Graduates will be equipped for postgraduate study and to assume responsible professional roles in the construction industry, becoming lifelong learners who appreciate the societal value of civil engineering. 3. Graduates will gain a broad and in-depth understanding of civil engineering principles. 4. Graduates will acquire analytical, problem-solving, and subject-specific skills, including the ability to evaluate evidence, arguments, and assumptions to reach sound judgements and communicate effectively. 5. Graduates will gain the academic qualifications required for advanced postgraduate study and the educational base needed to pursue Chartered Engineer status. |
