About the programme
The Civil Engineering programme trains engineers for design consultancy, project management consultancy, construction supervision and site management of civil and industrial buildings: housing, hospitals, hotels and factories. The programme has been taught since the University was founded in 2006.
The curriculum is application-oriented, with extensive practice in AutoCAD, Revit, SAP, SAFE, ETABS and MS Project. Students choose in-depth electives to match their career direction and complete 8 course projects — from analysing and designing reinforced concrete and steel structures to construction and project management following the BIM process.
Students learn in groups and through projects, combining seminars, real-world case studies, laboratory work, design projects and site internships; they are assessed on design work, projects, presentations, design competitions and internship reports.
The Civil Engineering programme has undergone external review (10/2022) and received a quality accreditation certificate.
