Tall buildings such as the Shard in London or the new Queensferry Bridge across the Firth of Forth are exciting examples of civil engineering.

The BEng Civil and Environmental Engineering at The University of StrathclydeÊdevelop and renew our towns and cities, and improve links with more remote communities.

Solving problems of air, land and water pollution and protecting society against natural disasters are also important aspects of civil engineering.

In recent years, our students have participated in the Constructionarium, attended Civil Engineering 4 Real and have taken part in our mentoring scheme involving graduate engineers with support companies such as BAM Nuttall, Sir Robert McAlpine, Tony Gee, Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors and Mott MacDonald.

Careers

Our graduatesÕ ability to fit quickly and productively into teams in industry makes them highly employable. Many graduates work not only in civil engineering and construction but also in areas such as oil and gas, renewable energy, business and accountancy.
