Yes you should be able to study civil engineering if I'm honest. Usually with regards to btecs they ask for one in an engineering discipline which it just so happens that mechanical engineering is one of them
So applying to Southampton university with a Btec in mechanical engineering level 3, will open up the engineerin courses there? as long as I have D* D D
Yep It should do... If your only going to apply for civil engineering maybe right something in your personal statement about why your interested in that sector.

So I've been reading around and some people say that I have to have a-level maths along with Btec mechanical engineering to do civil engineering at university? Is this true?

It should do because it says further down the page that they accept alternative qualifications that will be based on an individuals merit. If in doubt contact the universities enquiries department they're always happy to help.

Ah okay thanks, I did email them the same question just to be sure! So that definitely means I can apply and hopefully get accepted as long as I get D* D D.
Looking at the course, I don't see why you wouldn't be accepted. Your course is structured in a similar way that mine was at college. In your first year you will receive a 90 credit diploma and then after your second year you will receive your extended diploma. A D*DD is achievable as long as your set on it. It helps to have a target of what you need because your much more likely to achieve the grades at that point. A lot of people look at entry requirements much too late and therefore would be unable to achieve the higher grades.

The maths unit was relatively straight forward actually and with the way the course is structured its almost impossible to fail. It does build on what you've learnt at GCSE but if I'm honest I don't think anyone on my course struggled to pass that unit
Has the required qualifications for Analytical Methods and Further Analytical Methods modules
Thanks!
This is the email I got from Southampton university :
The same entry requirements apply to the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma as the BTEC HND, however if your diploma doesn’t have the Analytical Methods and Further Analytical Methods modules then an A in Maths A-Level is a suitable alternative.
If your course doesn't have these modules then you can ask to be entered for them... I took further electrical principles as an optional unit and they are usually very good at accommodating your needs

You usually just swap them so instead of doing electronic circuits and devices I did further electrical principles. Which means while everyone else completed their unit you would do this one instead
