Civil Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Civil engineers design, construct, and maintain essential infrastructure, such as bridges, buildings, and water treatment systems, which underpin daily life. This programme trains students to apply physics and mathematics creatively to solve complex problems, select appropriate tools for safe and sustainable solutions, and choose suitable materials for specific applications. It emphasizes engineering design through individual and group projects, with opportunities to specialize in areas like structural, environmental, geotechnical, construction management, and fire safety engineering.At the University of Edinburgh, students learn from global leaders in engineering, gaining a broad understanding of civil and environmental fields. The curriculum includes field trips, industry-informed teaching, and access to world-class facilities. Student societies foster innovation in hyperloop technology, rocketry, and electric vehicles, while strong industry ties through advisory boards and alumni interactions support career development, including recognition for industrial internships.
