About the programme
By studying Civil and Environmental Engineering at Abertay, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills you need to become a Chartered Civil Engineer. You’ll also help contribute to the health and wellbeing of individuals, communities, and societies by understanding interactions between buildings, infrastructure, and the environment.
This degree will give you a firm grounding across a wide range of civil and environmental engineering applications, with plenty of practical and hands-on experience gained through industry partners, including Transport Scotland, Balfour Beatty, Sweco, BAM, and BEAR Scotland.
As you progress, you’ll get a chance to work directly in the industry – an integrated part of your degree – and to take a deeper focus on specific areas that impact the built, human and natural environment.
Work Placement
We’re unique in that we offer a guaranteed, high-calibre work placement to all of our students in their third year of study. For 12 weeks you’ll set up shop in an engineering practice as far as Inverness or Glasgow. Your placement will give insight into an engineering specialism, form onsite construction to design consultation. This often leads on to continued work placements and even a space on a graduate scheme upon graduation.
