The Bachelor’s program in Civil Engineering provides students with a solid theoretical foundation and practical skills in the planning, design calculation, and management of buildings and structures, roads, bridges, water supply systems, and other infrastructure facilities. The program fosters the development of engineering thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and the use of modern technologies. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, which opens broad opportunities for employment and further academic development.
Program volume in credits: To obtain the academic degree of “Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering” within the Bachelor’s educational program “Civil Engineering,” a student must accumulate no fewer than 240 credits, which ensures the achievement of the program’s objectives and the corresponding learning outcomes at the level described for the Bachelor’s stage of the Higher Education Qualifications Framework.
The program is designed in accordance with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), where 1 credit equals 25 hours and includes both contact and independent work hours. The distribution of credits is presented in the curriculum.
Duration of study: The program’s duration is defined as no fewer than 4 years (8 semesters).
A semester comprises 18 weeks. At the university, within a single semester, 13 weeks are instructional (classroom sessions) and 5 are examination weeks (midterm, final, and supplementary examinations).
Structure of the educational program: The educational program includes mandatory components corresponding to the main field of study, totaling 207 credits, and mandatory elective components corresponding to the main field of study, totaling 33 credits.
The mandatory components corresponding to the main field of study include mandatory courses corresponding to the main field of study (totaling 240 credits)¹, a Bachelor’s internship worth 5 credits, and a Bachelor’s project worth 8 credits.
The mandatory elective components corresponding to the main field of study are:
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.
