Civil Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Civil engineers design, construct, and maintain essential infrastructure, such as bridges, buildings, and water treatment systems, often overlooked in daily life. This field creatively applies physics and mathematics to solve complex problems, selects appropriate tools for safe and sustainable outcomes, and uses advanced knowledge of materials for optimal applications. Our program prepares students to become forward-thinking engineers, equipping them with skills to shape a dynamic world. Specializations include structural, environmental, geotechnical, construction management, and fire safety engineering, with a strong emphasis on design throughout the degree.At the University of Edinburgh, students learn from global leaders in engineering whose expertise influences industry and government. Our programs provide a comprehensive understanding of civil and environmental engineering, supported by field trips, team-oriented teaching, and industry collaboration. World-class facilities, a thriving student society, and opportunities for industrial internships enhance the experience. Strong industry ties, via our advisory board and graduate interactions, ensure practical, real-world relevance in teaching and projects.
