Civil Engineering with Architecture will give you an understanding of the architect’s role in construction and the interaction between architect and civil engineer. Our Civil Engineering degree is focused around problem-based learning and our students enjoy tackling design projects in all years of the programme.

This is a unique degree programme in collaboration with the Glasgow School of Art. The architectural component is entirely design-oriented, studio-based and directed towards the production of sketches, drawings and models and their compilation into a portfolio.

WHY STUDY CIVIL ENGINEERING WITH ARCHITECTURE?

• You will take part in a week long residential, construction project, 'Constructionarium', where you will build scaled versions of iconic buildings using a range of construction materials
• You will take part in the five week multi-disciplinary Interact project with Architecture and Quantity Surveyor students from Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow Caledonian University respectively
• There are several engineering focused student societies including Glasgow University Civil Engineers (GUCE) and Engineers Without Borders
