Civil CEng
So, I applied and have offers at the following universities for BEng Civil Engineering courses:
Warwick, Nottingham, Manchester, Surrey, (interview from Liverpool but don't think i'll go)
However, I have now decided I wish to become a Chartered Civil Engineer. For this, a MEng, or a BEng and MSc is needed.
Does anyone know whether any of the universities that I have offers from will let me move up to the MEng course if I get good marks in my first year or any year?
And input as to which university to choose would also be greatly appreciated.

I think every university allows students of all engineering disciplines to move onto the MEng providing satisfactory first and second year results.

Oh safe, that's good news
Although what is meant by 'satisfactory'?

Usually an average of at least 60%.

Good rep for your help man.
Any idea which of those uni's would be best for Civil Engineering?

No, sorry.
No. That is a load of rubbish.

100% agree:
University of East London is 5th? lol...
And warwick isn't even on there.
I was looking for a general consensus as to which is best (mainly in terms of career prospects)
You make your own career prospects.

It is what happens when you use a statistical measure and no checks. That is not to say that UEL is bad.
Warwick is a funny one because it doesn't offer Civil Engineering in the strictest sense as it starts generally, then specialises AFAIK.
In all honesty, it doesn't really matter to much which uni you go to. Accreditation is chief and liking the uni and its city should come second. After all you will be on a very tough course for four years on a Masters and you will need to feel that you can appreciate the city when you get time off from your courses.
At the moment, job prospects are dire for Civil Engineering graduates. The current economy and the letting go of staff has not helped. Whilst there are some green shoots of recovery, the large mole hills of despair far dwarf these. However, you are 4.5 years off employment as a graduate and you must not forget that that is a long time. Just to give you an idea of how I relate to you, I was where you was in 2005 when Civil Eng had a massive shortage of Civil Engineers.
Today, I am a Graduate Project Manager in Facilities Management. Even though the market is very dire, there are opportunities.
I have applied for more or less than same places as your self.
Manchester will admit people to the MEng, but if there perform poorly they get bumped on to the BEng and the same for the other way around. At least thats what the admissions tutor told me at my interview, which I got an offer at also.
Surrey told me to apply to the BEng and if I do well enough this year, they will put me on the MEng straight away.
