Overview
Civil engineers design and build major structures and provide the skills and expertise to design, build and maintain the country’s infrastructure.
In year 3 of the Civil Engineering course at the University of Glasgow you will take part in a design project with students of architecture and quantity surveying to solve real-life design problems, just as you would do in professional life.
You will study the same courses in the first three years whether you are on the BEng or MEng degree programme. Both embed creativity to develop world changing engineers.

Programme Structure
Course Overview:
- In your first year, you will take a wide-ranging curriculum which includes courses in civil engineering, mathematics, dynamics, electronics, materials, statics, thermodynamics and engineering skills. These courses are supported by individual and group project work and laboratory work. This interdisciplinary approach, favoured by industry, also makes it possible to switch to most other engineering disciplines at the end of year 1 should you wish to do so.
- You will take a range of courses within structural engineering, water and environmental engineering, transportation, geotechnical engineering and construction management. Courses cover both fundamental principles and practical applications. We place considerable emphasis on practical work, in the form of laboratory classes, physical and computational modelling exercises, project work, surveying fieldwork, design projects and site visits.
