About this course
Overview:
Civil and environmental engineering involves the application of scientific knowledge and modern engineering tools to the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of all major forms of infrastructure. The discipline is very wide ranging, impacting on our daily lives in diverse ways. Ultimately it aims to ensure a sustainable local and global society, particularly in light of current challenges such as global climate change.
At Edinburgh the subject area 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 structural fire engineering, 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.
We offer several programmes, each with a different focus. Our Civil Engineering programme covers a broad range of topics in earlier years while allowing students to specialise later on.
We also offer an industrial mentoring scheme that allows students to meet and interact with graduates of around five years, working in industry.

Course Modules
What you will study:
Year 1
Your time will usually be divided between engineering, mathematics and option courses. You study several branches of engineering, followed by the first in-depth study of your preferred subject.
For most of our programmes you can choose an option from the sciences or the arts. Chemical engineering students must take chemistry in Year 1.
Year 2
You will study your chosen branch of engineering, supported by classes in mathematics. You will begin to apply your scientific and mathematical skills to real problem solving.
Year 3
You will now be able to focus almost entirely on your chosen field of engineering. At the end of Year 3, you will have the option of completing one more year for a BEng (Hons) or studying for a further two years for an MEng (Hons).
Year 4
You will concentrate on specialist study and innovative coursework that will prepare you for your professional career. Increasingly you will spend time on individual or group design projects. These projects include working with students from other disciplines in our unique interdisciplinary design projects, initiated with support from the Royal Academy of Engineering.
MEng students will produce a substantial project that may involve working overseas or in industry.
Year 5
As Year 4.
