Civil Engineering (Apprenticeship) Atlantic Technological University

Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering (Apprenticeship)  at the Atlantic Technological University  is transformational, and over time, will bridge the shortfall in supply of engineers in Ireland, providing those skills critical to the delivery of Ireland’s bold infrastructural plans.

On successful completion of this three-year apprenticeship, you will hold an NFQ Level 7 BEng in Civil Engineering.

Apprentices attend online lectures one day per week (fixed day each semester) and an additional day per month on campus (for labs and workshops). The other three/four days per week will see the apprentices in the workplace learning ATU ‘on the job’. Apprentices will get hands-on experience of the modules they are studying while in their workplace, giving them a deeper understanding of what they are doing and why they are doing it.
