Civil Engineering at Dundee

Is anyone starting Civil Engineering at Dundee Uni this year or has already started the course and knows what i should expect? Does anyone know whether Dundee is any good for Civil Engineering in Scotland? Cheers

Just Plain Bob.

I don't know much about it but it has an excellent reputation, and is ranked third in The Good University Guide for Civil Engineering in the whole of the UK.

This is the wrong time for a thread like this. Most people will have gone to bed by now. Try early evening tomorrow.

Cheers for the info Mozart! It seems a Civil Engineering degree from Dundee Uni has very good job prospects from the league table.
I did Advanced Higher Maths and Physics in school. Would they help for this course? I know the course has maths/physics modules in 1st year.

AH Maths would certainly help from what I understand of it (having a friend or two in civil engineering). I imagine first year would be simply recovering old ground; second year and onward would build on that. From what I hear, though, the maths is the dullest part of an engineering degree.

But yes, it will serve you well in later life, I should imagine.

I have offers from Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Strathy and Edinburgh btw.
I'm undecided on which to go for! :s-smilie:

Anyone have any experience of the course at any of the above uni's?
I know at Dundee you do maths and science modules and a project in 1st year.

I don't have any advice as such but have you dug around their websites much?

Glasgow gives pretty clear info on what you'll be studying: http://www.gla.ac.uk/departments/civilengineering/undergraduatestudy/coursedocumentation/

As does Edinburgh: http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/teaching/teaching_2/civil/yearteaching/index.shtml

most engineering courses are nearly the same content in first year at Dundee I am doing a Mechanical Engineering course starting this year. Have you decided what you are going to do?
