The scholarships below are open to international students and those applying from England, Wales and Northern Ireland with a 2.1 or above for a postgraduate course.
Our Civil Engineering MSc will give you a comprehensive overview of what it takes to deliver a successful civil engineering project. You’ll learn the advanced capabilities and in-depth knowledge needed to thrive in your civil engineering career and solve work challenges such as environmental sustainability.
You’ll develop your research skills by completing a dissertation on a topic you want to explore further, supported by our academic staff.
Designed and delivered by a multi-disciplinary team of leading academics, who have over 60 years' experience in training civil engineers. Abertay has close links with industry and a high research rating in Civil and Environmental Engineering within Scotland.
You’ll graduate with the ability to manage and solve the multi-layered environmental challenges within current civil engineering projects.
The programme can be studied full time for one year or over two years part-time.
Applicants should have
Full-time on-campus students will complete the degree in one year: The academic year consists of three terms with the Master’s dissertation module completed in term three.
Part-time on-campus students will complete the degree in two years: year one consists of two terms, and year two of three terms with the Master's dissertation module completed in the final term.
The Master’s project is an independent research project under guidance of supervisors.
The taught course will be assessed using a combination of written coursework, presentations, examinations and portfolios, and a written dissertation. Formal examinations, class tests and reports will also feature where relevant.

This module covers advanced aspects of the science, technology, socio−economic and environmental aspects of renewable energy production, with a particular emphasis on biofuels.
This module examines BIM principles investigating the: 1) discipline-specific BIM perspectives and 2) digital tools for central, efficient, and secure sharing of data/information on physical and functional characteristics of a structure, forming a reliable basis for decisions from earliest conception to demolition.
The module introduces unsteady open channel flow and sediment transport in open channels.
This module is designed to introduce postgraduate students to research methods and statistical analysis. Theoretical, historical, and statistical concepts are taught in lectures with hands-on practical lab sessions using both quantitative and qualitative techniques that allow students to put theory into practice.
Individual in-depth investigation of a particular aspect of your own specialism.
Utilising knowledge and understanding in geotechnical engineering to solve complex geotechnical problems by considering advanced solutions which are cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Using geotechnical software capable of solving complex geotechnical problems.
This project module focuses on the theory and practice of identifying and implementing innovation of products and systems in organisations. It provides an opportunity for students to critically reflect on analytical, design, planning and evaluation tools that have been included in the programme and to apply these to the design and construction processes of a project that requires innovation and mimics the real-world feasibility design stage of a Civil and Environmental Engineering project.
Please note: this course will run over 16 months full-time and 28 months part-time if you begin your studies in January.
