Master of Science in Civil Engineering
The Civil Engineering programme focuses on the study and design of buildings and structures (roads, bridges, hydraulic structures, industrial buildings and high-rises), and aims at the education of civil engineers who can perform at a high level in an international industrial and social context.
EUR-ACE® Master (EURopean ACcredited Engineering Master)
The EUR-ACE label was accredited to this programme by the Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI), under the auspices of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).
EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.
