Program Description

This University of Dundee course gives students a broad overview of core civil engineering topics. For example, they’ll study geomechanics, structural analysis, surveying, materials, and fluid mechanics. Using this knowledge, students will explore your creativity by developing innovative designs and structures. They’ll also learn about key issues for practicing civil engineers, such as health and safety, and management.

Many of the projects will involve working with others. Students will have an opportunity to develop communication and team working skills. They’ll regularly go on trips, site visits, and other installations which gives them a valuable insight into industry as well as practical experience.

There are also opportunities for vocational and industrial placements throughout the degree. Dundee’s Civil Engineering society runs regular social events and has close connections with ICE (Institute of Civil Engineers) Tayside.

This course is accredited as fully satisfying the educational requirements for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng). This means it will give students a solid understanding of the fundamentals of civil engineering design and application.
