Civil Engineering

About this course

Civil engineering is the discipline responsible for designing, building and maintaining the physical infrastructure of society: roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, water treatment systems, drainage networks, ports, airports and the structural foundations of buildings. It is a profession with a direct and visible impact on how communities function, and it encompasses structural analysis, geotechnics, hydraulics, materials science, project management and environmental engineering. Civil engineers work at every scale, from local drainage schemes to major international infrastructure projects. At Edinburgh Napier, this five-year programme leads to an MEng qualification and includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study civil engineering at an international partner institution and develop a broader perspective on engineering practice in different national and regulatory contexts.
