Civil Engineering

Program Overview

---

The Civil Engineering program, jointly offered by the University of Glasgow and Singapore Institute of Technology, equips students with the knowledge and skills to design and create the built environment. Through project-based learning, an Overseas Immersion Programme, and an Integrated Work Study Programme, students gain practical experience and a strong foundation in civil engineering principles, preparing them for successful careers in the field. Graduates receive a jointly-awarded degree from both institutions, recognized internationally and by employers in Singapore.
