The Bachelor’s Program in Civil Engineering provides students with a strong foundation in theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to the planning, analysis, design, and management of buildings, roads, bridges, water supply systems, and other infrastructure facilities. The program supports the development of engineering thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and the effective use of modern technologies. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are awarded the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, which creates broad opportunities for employment and further academic development.
Program content with credits:
A student must earn at least 240 credits to award an academic degree in Civil Engineering under the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering’s English-language education program, which will ensure that the program’s objectives and relevant learning outcomes meet the eligibility requirements of the higher education qualifier.
The program is compiled according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), 1 credit equals 25 hours and includes contact and independent working hours. The distribution of credits is presented in the curriculum.
Duration of study:
The duration of the program is defined as not less than 4 years (8 semesters), The semester includes 18 weeks.
GTU has 13 weeks of study (auditory courses) and 5 sessions (midterm, final and additional exams) during one semester.
Educational program structure:
The curriculum includes compulsory components of relevant content for the main field of study – a total of 202 credits (including undergraduate internship – 5 credits and a bachelor’s project with a total of 8 credits), compulsory elective components of relevant content for the main field of study – a total of 35 credits and free components 3 credits .
Instructions for choosing an optional component:
The process of selecting both free components and elective courses related to the profession should be transparent; In order to define his / her profile, the student should be provided with the necessary information, advice and assistance. To do this, the Dean of the Faculty has a person of appropriate qualifications and experience who will provide qualified assistance to students in their elective components. If necessary, the head of the relevant department is involved in the consultation process. Prior to the start of the semester, each student of the program will be sent a personal page on the GTU e-learning portal, as well as a text message to the contact phone, informing about the elective courses and the selection procedure, as well as the application form. In the event of a competition for a particular elective component, priority will be given to the person with the highest academic achievement, while the person with the low academic achievement will be enrolled in the next elective course of his or their choice.
The Civil Engineering program is currently undergoing the accreditation process conducted by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology), through its Engineering Accreditation Commission — EAC (Engineering Accreditation Commission). This process supports the program’s alignment with international standards and enhances the global competitiveness of its graduates.
The Civil Engineering Faculty of GTU has determined that the program’s educational objectives for the civil engineering program are as follows:
Admission to the Bachelor’s degree is carried out on the basis of unified national exams, mathematics or physics, Georgian language and literature, and a foreign language are required
