Civil engineers design, build and operate the physical infrastructure that we often take for granted; from bridges and buildings to water treatment and waste management systems.Civil engineering involves:* creatively applying your physics and mathematics knowledge to deliver unique solutions to complex problems * selecting and using the appropriate engineering and computational tools to ensure safe and sustainable solutions * using your advanced knowledge of Civil Engineering materials to select the correct solution for the required applicationThis programme will train you to be a civil engineer for the future, giving you the knowledge and skills you need to shape and sustain our ever-changing world.You will have the opportunity to specialise in many technical streams including:* structural engineering * environmental engineering * construction management * geotechnical engineering * fire safety engineeringWe put a strong emphasis on engineering design, both individually and in groups, throughout this degree programme.
Why Edinburgh?You will be taught by leaders in their Engineering fields whose knowledge is actively sought out by industry and government internationally. Our unique programmes give you a broad and detailed understanding of Civil and Environmental Engineering, setting you up to work in any field you choose after graduation. You will benefit from field trips, design-led and team-oriented teaching approaches, and strong engagement with industry which informs our teaching.Our university boasts world-leading facilities, creating the perfect atmosphere in which to learn.Our thriving student-led civil engineering society (CivSoc) connects students with social, industrial and academic networks and activities, while our student-led Engineering societies lead the country in: * hyperloop technology * rocketry and satellite design * electric vehicle innovation * and much more You will be supported to gain recognition for undertaking an Industrial Internship via the Edinburgh Award.
Ties to industryWe have strong industrial engagement through our Industrial Advisory Board and industrial input to our teaching, including our design projects.You will also have opportunities to interact with recent graduates who are now working in industry.
