MEng (Hons) Civil and Environmental Engineering
Study Civil and Environmental Engineering at Abertay and gain the knowledge and skills you need to become a Chartered Civil Engineer. Our Civil Engineering undergraduate degree is vocational and has industry work placements integrated into the course. There is a big shortage of civil engineers in Britain and Europe, making you hugely employable as soon as you graduate.
You’ll gain a firm grounding across a wide range of civil and environmental engineering applications, with plenty of practical and hands-on experience through placements with industry partners such as Transport Scotland, Balfour Beatty and BEAR Scotland.
Practical, hands-on experience
You’ll also get hands-on experience with a practical construction challenge in year two. This is where you work in teams to plan, project manage and construct a scaled-down version of real-world structures such as bridges, pavilions, wind turbine footings and other civil engineering projects.
Almost 100% employment after graduation
You’ll contribute to the health and wellbeing of individuals, communities, and societies by understanding interactions between buildings, infrastructure, and the environment. Due to smaller class sizes our approach is more personal, as it means we have more time to spend with each student.
There's a global shortage of qualified civil engineers, leading to nearly 100% employment after graduation.
Flexible degree - tailor your studies
If your interests and career plans change, you can switch to another related degree at the end of first year. This is one of a portfolio of three engineering courses. Find out more.
Five professional accreditations
You can choose either the five-year Integrated Masters (MEng) course, making you a Chartered Engineer (CEng), or the four-year Bachelor's (BEng Hons) degree, leading to an Incorporated Engineer (IEng). Both depend on successful graduation. Find out more.
