Building Services and the Built Environment play a vital role in shaping the world we live in. Systems installed within buildings make them functional, safe, comfortable, and efficient.
The Built Environment encompasses all forms of building and civil engineering, both above and below ground and the managed landscapes between and around buildings. Building Services engineers design and install all the elements within the building such as the Building Control Systems, Energy Supply (electricity, gas, and renewable sources), Plumbing and Drainage.
We offer a range of courses from introduction through to HNC/D that allow progression through to university or employment. Our facilities and staff provide an environment that helps nurture and develop the vocational and technical skills required within the sector.
Having the opportunity to be involved in some really exciting projects coupled with the collaborative work environment really appealed to me.
As I was scrolling through the Dundee and Angus College website looking for inspiration, I came across Civil Engineering. I thought it sounded interesting and that I could probably do it so, on a whim, I applied and was accepted. To say I made the right decision is an understatement!

I was nervous about the electrical work, however the staff at the College were amazingly supportive and helped me get past my fears.
