Civil and Environmental Engineering
What is Civil and Environmental Engineering?
Civil and Environmental Engineering is a multi-disciplinary field that focuses on the design, construction, and management of infrastructure projects while also addressing environmental solutions for a sustainable society.
Civil and environmental engineers are experts in assessing how to create efficient energies in buildings and infrastructures, how soil and water are protected from contamination, how waste and pollution control measures have been designed and the availability of resource recovery systems. They also analyse the impact of contamination, and the management and design concepts to investigate this
What you will learn
You will attain key skills needed to become a professional civil and environmental engineer by gaining knowledge in biotechnology, environmental analysis, ecology and physicochemical processes.
