This course develops the skills needed to play a senior role in the planning, design, construction and maintenance of major infrastructure

Course overview

As a civil engineer or transportation specialist, you’ll help create the built environment around us.

Bridges, airports, highways, buildings and railways present their own problems and challenges and need efficient and effective engineering solutions.

You'll learn the fundamentals of civil engineering and develop skills in structural analysis, transport systems, ground engineering, water resource management and transport planning.

You'll gain industry insights from site visits, a week-long survey camp, an overseas field trip and input from engineering companies.

We are a top 5 UK modern university for Civil Engineering. (The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026)

In Year 1, you will learn the principles of Civil Engineering via an introduction to Materials, Structural Analysis, Construction Process and methods of Engineering Communication including use of industry standard software platforms. The formative stages of your studies are specific to Civil Engineering and are not taught as part of a common first and second year. All areas are underpinned by developing competency in relevant mathematical techniques and approaches to problem solving.

Once an understanding of the fundamental principles of Civil Engineering has been established, you will then progress on to more advance areas of Structural Design, Geotechnics, Fluid Mechanics and Transportation Engineering. You will implement practical solutions across a range of applied applications and develop your skills in lateral problem solving and innovative thinking.

In your final year of study you will develop, manage and undertake a programme of independent investigation under the guidance of an associated research supervisor. You will also work as part of a team to fulfil a client’s project brief relating to the development of a substantial piece of Built Environment Infrastructure – the successful fulfilment of this brief will require you to utilise all of the skills developed over the course of your studies with us.

How you’ll be taught

You will be taught through lectures and tutorials. You will take three modules each trimester.

Assessments

There are no exams in Year 1. Each module has one course work and one exam.

Facilities

This course is taught in person at our Merchiston campus.

Careers & employability

What can you do with an MEng Civil & Transportation Engineering degree?

A degree in civil & transportation engineering from Edinburgh Napier University allows for a wide scope of career options, including:

Geotechnical Engineering

Structural Engineering

Transport and Urban Planning

Water Engineering and fluid mechanics

Construction Management

As a civil engineer, you have the option to be involved in many different projects, from simple structures (residential or office buildings) to more complicated ones, such as stadiums, bridges, hospitals, schools etc.

Depending on your specialisation, you may be involved in different aspects of a project, such as the foundation design (geotechnical engineer) or the structural design (structural engineer). If you are interested in transportation systems and how to enhance them, a career in transportation engineering is the right for you.

If you are interested in construction, a career in construction management may be the right for you.

Some of our civil engineering graduates have even taken their numerical and mathematical skills gained during their studies to work in banking and financial industries.

The average salary for civil engineering professionals in the UK is around £40,300 and employment opportunities are everywhere, with good career progression opportunities

The career options are wide and diverse, making civil engineering an exciting, in-demand and transferable course.

What does a Civil Engineer do?

Civil engineers are creative individuals who enjoy problem solving and contributing to the built environment around us. They plan, design and oversee nearly all aspects of construction projects. Projects can come in many different forms, whether that is large buildings or essential infrastructure systems like railways and water management facilities.

Very often, civil engineers are involved in the monitoring and retrofitting of existing structures (such as older bridges) as they check their structural integrity and implement advanced technologies for their upgrading so that hey satisfy the latest design standards.

In addition, civil (geotechnical) engineers are involved in the risk assessment and mitigation of natural hazards, such as landslides, floods and earthquakes.

You could be responsible for planning, designing and overseeing the construction of large-scale buildings and our roads and railways systems, airport, bridges and harbours, as well as tall buildings like the Shard in London and large structures built to withstand any weather condition. Civil engineers also work on projects that have huge environmental benefits such as waste and water management, or buildings and venues that may surprise you.

What does a Transportation Engineer do?

As a Transportation Engineer, you could be responsible for designing, planning, and managing transportation systems such as roads, highways, railways, airports, and public transit systems. This may involve optimising traffic flow and improving safety.

You will also collaborate with city planners and policymakers to develop sustainable urban environments. This can include designing efficient land use patterns, implementing transportation solutions, and integrating infrastructure with community needs.
