Introduction

Civil & Environmental Engineering involves the application of scientific knowledge and technical skill to the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of all major forms of infrastructure. Civil and environmental engineers shape our environment by providing protection from the extremes of nature such as flood and drought; ensuring the supply of water and energy; providing transport links and constructing places to live and work.

Civil & Environmental Engineering at Edinburgh

At Edinburgh the discipline includes knowledge of the latest developments in traditional areas such as transport, tunnels, bridges, buildings and dams, but also includes many emerging areas such as fire behaviour and its influence on structures, water security, mitigating the environmental impacts of major projects, managing the construction of mega-projects, advanced geotechnical investigations, novel structural materials, and disaster analysis and prevention.

Our Industrial Advisory Board includes senior representatives from top engineering companies and government agencies and ensures that our teaching keeps apace with the latest developments in civil engineering practice. We also offer an industrial mentoring scheme that allows students to meet and interact with graduates of around five years working in industry.

Structural Engineering with Architecture

Our ground-breaking Structural Engineering with Architecture programme combines a focus on structural engineering with an appreciation of the architectural context. It is taught jointly with the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA).

Accreditation

This degree is accredited as fully satisfying the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
