Program Overview

During the Bachelor's studies, the training in basic sciences (mathematics and physics) is spread out over all three years of studies, thus allowing the students to tackle a good number of specific civil engineering classes even in the first year (statics, geology, structures, materials). The second and third years include classes in soil and fluid mechanics, structures (concrete, metal, etc.), and hydraulics, ending with a first project applying and synthesizing the knowledge that has been gained.
