Course Description

The Civil Engineering programme will enable learners to become involved in the design, construction and maintenance of buildings in residential and industrial as well as public infrastructure such as bridges, roads, canals dams. Civil Engineering is concerned with
maintaining and improving the world around us and increasing the quality of life for present and future generations.

This qualification prepares students with the technical and managerial skills necessary to enter careers in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the built environment and global infrastructure. Graduates are able to analyze and design systems, specify project methods and materials, perform cost estimates and analyses, and manage technical activities in support of civil projects.
