The welfare of a society has always been and still is strongly related with the development of infrastructures to satisfy the needs of food, water, energy, transportation and housing, as well as the protection against natural disasters under the constraints of sustainability and protection of the environment.

The civil engineer has the challenge to satisfy the vital needs of the society as a global player who is able to design, build, manage and maintain complex infrastructure projects with a global approach, taking into account socio-economical and environmental interactions. He is a generalist with high competences in various fields such as structures, hydraulic schemes and energy, geotechnics and tunnelling, transportation infrastructures and systems, management, legal and economical aspects as well as environmental issues. Civil engineers work in multidisciplinary and very often multicultural teams.

The two-year master programme in civil engineering will give the students the required knowledge to face a big challenge: create the necessary infrastructures for the prosperity of the economy, hence guaranteeing the whole population an adequate standard of life.

High priority is given to a transdisciplinary teaching in the Faculty ENAC by bringing together civil engineers, architects and environmental engineers, thanks to the programme "Design and build together".
