Civil Engineering
Why study civil engineering?
Everything we do depends on the functionality of the built environment: how we live, work, study, or travel. Our well-being is based on healthy indoor air, comfortable indoor temperatures, and the ability to move safely and efficiently through neighbourhoods, streets, and cities. As society changes, so does the built environment, shaping and being shaped by the way we live.
The Bachelor's Programme in Civil Engineering tackles the most critical challenges of the built environment. It prepares you to address major societal transformations such as the energy transition, urbanisation, resource efficiency, climate change, and digitalization.The goal is to create technology-driven growth, transform business models, and develop resilient infrastructure.
What will you learn?
The programme gives you the mathematical and scientific foundation to solve practical problems. You will have the technical knowledge needed for development, design, and management roles in civil and construction engineering. You will recognise the societal relevance of civil engineering and the ecological, economic, and social dimensions of sustainable development and apply this understanding in your work.
After completing the degree, you will be equipped to consider all dimensions of sustainability in design, development, and decision‑making. You will also have comprehensive digital skills.
The programme prepares you for master’s studies in civil engineering. You will be able to assess your strengths and interests to choose the specialisation that suits you best. You will develop your expertise through your choice of minor subject and thesis topic, guiding you toward technical design and development, project management, business and life‑cycle economy, or community and urban development.
