Civil Engineering
(jointly offered with Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT))

Civil Engineers design, develop and create the built environment which surrounds us by improving our quality of life across a wide variety of sectors. In order to prepare students for this dynamic industry, the programme at SIT encompasses a wide range of topics ranging from the study of buildings, bridges and transport systems through to geotechnics, dams, water supply and environmental engineering. In order to produce industry-ready graduates, there is a particular focus on project-based learning. This takes place through a three week Overseas Immersion Programme (OIP) in Glasgow, UK and an Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP) which comprises an eight month structured learning programme embedded in industry. These pivotal projects alongside the carefully designed course structure will provide you with the knowledge, skills and understanding to help you embark on a career within this exciting, fast-changing profession. Flexible programmes that cater to full-time or SkillsFuture Work-Study are available.

Introducing the School of Engineering

  • The University established a Regius Chair of Civil Engineering and Mechanics in 1840, making Glasgow the oldest university school of engineering in the UK. We have been delivering a world-class engineering education for more than 160 years, building and sustaining an excellent international reputation.
  • Each year our 2,500 undergraduate and postgraduate students are taught by staff renowned for their leading-edge research.
  • In the UK’s 2014 independent research exercise (REF), we were placed within the top 5 in the UK for our “internationally excellent” and “world-leading” research.
  • We have access to excellent facilities and collaborate with other leading universities and research institutes worldwide on a range of projects that address the technological needs of society.
  • The education we provide is informed and supported by our links with industry and industrially relevant research. In Singapore, the UofG-SIT programmes seek to provide students with various dimensions of exposure to local industry in order to enhance their employability upon graduation.
  • All of our existing MEng and BEng degrees are accredited by their respective professional bodies.
