MSc Civil Engineering

The Civil Engineering BEng course at the University of Strathclyde is designed to educate students in both the necessary theoretical understanding and practical skills required in the field of civil engineering. This course allows students to apply learned concepts in designing sustainable built and natural environments. The university also provides strong links with industry to provide opportunities for summer placements and potential future employment.Course Content: The course is broken down into individual years where students learn different aspects of Civil Engineering. In the first two years, students undertake fundamental Civil Engineering classes. In the third and fourth years, students are made to apply the scientific principles learned in the previous years to the design and construction of bridges, buildings, and other infrastructures. The final year involves an individual project.Key Modules: The key modules for this course range from civil engineering design and construction, environmental engineering and health and safety issues in Civil Engineering.Accreditations: The course is accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT), and the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.Future Careers: Civil Engineering graduates can find opportunities in sectors like construction, design, and even education and public health. Students can work as a Civil Engineer, Site Engineer, Structural Engineer, Water Resource Engineer among others.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
