The Undergraduate Programme of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering covers the traditional areas of Civil Engineering such as structures, building materials, earthquake engineering, construction management, geotechnical engineering, transportation, hydraulics as well as environmental issues such as protection of water resources, air pollution and management of solid and liquid waste.
During the first two years of studies, the Programme provides the students with a strong base in Mathematics, Physics and Mechanics, which are necessary for studying the applied and advanced topics covered in the following years. During the third year, the students take applied courses in the field of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The fourth year offers students the flexibility to choose from a wide array of advanced courses in Civil and Environmental Engineering according to their interests. Moreover, it contains the Capstone Design Project (Dissertation), in which the students undertake the design of an important construction project, rendering them ready to enter the job market competitively right after graduation.
