Targeted competences

An engineer in Civil engineering is able to design and size buildings and their services within a transverse training.
Specialities of the 4th year ("Building and Public Works" and "Building Services") provide deepened knowledge in sizing methods and design in the domain of buildings for the first one and in the domain of building services for the other one.
Specialities during the 5th year allow the student to choose his own way among public works, building engineering, town planning, high environmental quality, renewable energy and global energetic analysis.
Moreover, an "Architecture" module followed by about 12 students gives some necessary knowledge for entering the 4th year in further studies in an architecture school.

The five-year engineering programme is organized in semesters as follows:
- a common core programme in the first year
- 2 years of pre-specialization (4 pre-specializations)
- 2 years of specialization (10 specializations)
25% of the course is devoted to human sciences (economics-management, languages, communication, sports)
