Course Overview
Civil engineering develops and improves facilities and services that society needs – from the supply of clean water and energy to the design and construction of roads, railways and stations.
Tall buildings such as the Shard in London or the new Queensferry Bridge across the Firth of Forth are exciting examples of civil engineering.
Our graduates develop and renew towns and cities, improving links with remote communities.
Solving problems of air, land and water pollution and protecting society against natural disasters are also essential aspects of civil engineering.
In recent years, our students have participated in the Constructionarium, attended Civil Engineering 4 Real, and have taken part in our mentoring scheme involving graduate engineers with support companies such as BAM Nuttall, Sir Robert McAlpine, Tony Gee, Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors and Mott MacDonald.
