Civil Engineering Practices FdSc

It is estimated the rail industry will need 50,000 new workers by 2033. This Rail Engineering degree will equip you with multi-disciplinary rail engineering and management skills to help you enter the industry. The only of its kind in the North East, the course will enable you to develop knowledge and practical skills in track maintenance, overhead lines, electrification and signalling, coupled with management skills so you are able to pursue high level roles within the rail industry. You will be taught by tutors who actively work within the rail industry and will be based at our dedicated Rail and Civil Engineering Academy, benefitting from links with Nexus, Network Rail, Vital and Cross Country. As a Rail Engineering student you will take part in Industry Week, where you will be able to network with rail employers to prepare you for a career in the rail industry. On successful completion of the Foundation Degree can progress onto the one-year BSc (Hons) Engineering Management (Top-up) here at Newcastle College University Centre. You may also choose to enter the rail industry working as an operative in track maintenance renewal or within strategic or management roles.
