Abertay’s Civil Engineering Course is fantastic. It was an intensive four years that covered a broad spectrum of subjects.

In our third year we were put out on a placement in the industry for three months and I don’t think many universities offer that as part of the actual course. I got a position with Abertay University with the Estates department, working with the buildings the University owns. The placement was one of the most important things I did in my four years. To be given the opportunity to go into the real world – so to speak – and put the skills you learned in class to practise really shows you how your learning can shape the world.
