Civil and Structural Engineering

About this course

Civil and structural engineering is the discipline responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of the built and natural environments that support human society. Roads, bridges, dams, tunnels, buildings, water treatment plants and flood defences are all products of civil engineering, as are the urban infrastructure systems that modern cities depend on. Structural engineering, as a specialism within civil engineering, is concerned specifically with how structures carry loads safely and efficiently, and with ensuring that the built environment withstands the forces placed upon it. At the University of Dundee, this four-year programme gives you a thorough grounding in the principles and practice of civil and structural engineering. You will develop expertise in structural analysis, materials science, geotechnics, hydraulics, transportation and construction management, learning
