What do you study in Civil Engineering?

Civil Engineering is the discipline that makes the physical world we live in possible: it designs, builds and maintains the infrastructure that connects people, cities and regions. If you are passionate about solving real problems on a large scale and leaving a visible mark on the landscape, this is the field for you.

  • You will learn to calculate structures such as bridges, tunnels and dams so they can bear loads and stand the test of time
  • You will study soil mechanics, hydraulics and strength of materials applied to real projects
  • You will work with digital tools for computer-aided design, surveying and geomatics
  • You will analyse the environmental impact and sustainability of major construction projects
  • You will manage complex projects, bringing together schedules, costs and teams

You will be able to work for construction companies, public authorities and engineering consultancies, or take part in infrastructure projects around the world.
