For the English course, a dispensatory test is organised in the first quadrimester of the first year (Test1 - Reading Comprehension). If the student passes, he is exempt from doing the corresponding study sessions : he will either take the ANGL1871 exam at the end of the year (2 credits), or he will choose to follow the ANGL1872 course from the first year on (in the 2nd year - 2 credits) or another advanced language course for a minimum of 2 credits in accordance with his competence.

As from the second quadrimester of the second year, the student will follow the specialisation course corresponding to the major and the minor he has chosen.

For the English course in the second year, the student will take a dispensatory test in the first quadrimester (Test 2 - Listening Comprehension). If the student passes, he is exempt from doing the corresponding study sessions : he will either take the ANGL1872 exam at the end of the second year (2 credits), or he will choose to follow the ANGL1873 course from the second year on (in the 3rd year - 2 credits) or another advanced language course for a minimum of 2 credits in accordance with his competence.

In the third year, the student will follow the specialisation course corresponding to the major and the minor he has chosen.For the language course, he will take a dispensatory test in the first quadrimester (Test 3 - Oral Expression). If he passes, he is exempt from following the corresponding course activities : he will either do the ANGL1873 exam at the end of the third year (2 credits), or he will choose to follow another advanced language course for a minimum of 2 credits, depending on his competence.

The ensemble of subjects covers the 14 weeks of the quadrimester ; the S0 week is spread over the first week of the first year, the projects of the first year and the first quadrimester of the second year are spread over the first 11 weeks of the quadrimester.

By way of information, details of the academic content of the subjects for the first year and a half are accessible via the following links :

Mathematics

Physics

Chemistry and Physical Chemistry

Computing Studies

Numerical Methods

Design

and Projects

The student will choose one of the six courses relating to the following majors : Chemistry and Applied Physics, Construction, Electricity, Computer Studies, Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.

The table summarising the presentation of each of the specialised training courses as well as the division of the courses per year and per quadrimester is accessible by clicking on the corresponding titles.

Major in Chemistry and Applied Physics

Major in Construction

Major in Electricity

Major in Computing studies

Major in Applied Mathematics

In this major, the student will choose, among others, an option of at least 3 credits from the minors accessible to the students enrolled on the bachelor of Engineering programme. The choice will be subject to the approval of the bachelor Committee.

Major in Mechanics

To comple his programme, the student will constitute a minor for himself, worth 30 credits, in accordance with one of the three possibilities described below :

The description of each of the polytechnic minors offered by the Faculty of Applied Sciences as well as the distribution of the courses per year and per quadrimester are accessible by clicking on the corresponding course title. The student may choose one of them, different from that of the major followed in the context of his bachelor programme of Engineering Sciences - Civil Engineering.

Minor in Chemistry and Applied Physics (31 credits)

Minor in Construction (31 credits)

Minor in Electricity (30 credits)

Minor in Computer studies (30 credits)

Minor in Applied Mathematics (30 credits)

Minor in Mechanics (30 credits)

The student may choose a minor (30 credits) from another faculty or institute of the University, even an inter-faculty minor, as listed. Some of these minors will enable course re-orientation with access to the corresponding masters. (list)

The student interested in this minor, will take into account that the nominal division of the minors at UCL is around 15 credits in the second year and 15 credits in the third year. In order to make the study-load compatible, the student who chooses this path has the possibility, if he so wishes and as long as the timetable and prerequisities permit, to postpone the volume of a course equal to 5 credits from the second to the third year so that each year of this programme manages to attain the 60 credits. Any programme so constituted must be approved by the bachelor Committee of the FSA.

The student may also choose courses from the programme of the Faculty (in-depth course) or from the University (opening course).

If the constitution of his programme so permits, the student may follow the FSA2300, Questions on Religious Sciences course as one of his options (2 credits). In the case of the latter, he will no longer need to follow this course during his studies in "master of Engineering Sciences - Civil Engineering ".

The student will make his choices in relation with the specialisation of his major and of a minor at the end of the 1st quadrimester of the 2nd year of the bachelor programme. In order to help him do so, information sessions with regard to the different possibiities are organised during the first quadrimester of the second year. The student may also seek advice from the Study Advisor.

The constituted programme will have to be accepted by the bachelor Committee of the FSA.
