Civil Engineering BEng (Hons)

Civil engineers design, build and operate the physical infrastructure that we rely on, and often take for granted – from bridges and buildings, to water treatment and waste management systems. Civil engineering involves applying physics and mathematics, along with engineering and computing tools, in a creative and sustainable way. Our programme will train the civil engineers of the future with the knowledge and skills needed to help shape our ever-changing world. You will have the opportunity to specialise in a number of technical streams including structural, environmental, construction management, geotechnical and fire safety engineering. There is also a strong emphasis on engineering design throughout the degree programme. As a member of Edinburgh’s supportive and close-knit civil engineering community, you will benefit from a curriculum, teaching and design projects actively shaped by our industrial partners, alongside opportunities to interact with recent graduates working in industry. **Work experience and internships** You are encouraged to undertake relevant work experience during your degree. We work closely with the Careers Service to advertise internship opportunities and arrange company presentations. We support your development of graduate attributes through our Edinburgh Award for Civil and Environmental Engineering Industrial Placements, which is recognised on your academic transcript.
