Civil Engineering and Urban Planning

The Civil engineering and Urban planning engineering department trains executives in the building and planning trades. Training is in line with the requirements of businesses and takes into account the evolution of the socio-economic context, preoccupations regarding innovation and sustainable development, as well as needs for future executives.

During their education, students are trained to work independently and in networks. The diversity of the curricula ensures the adaptability and evolution of future engineers.

Why choose this course?

  • To learn to design, construct, understand, judge and communicate
  • To innovate using adapted teaching tools and with the support of research laboratories
  • To launch your career in the industrial world and abroad

The three-year training course is characterised by

  • Two years dedicated to the acquisition of scientific and technical knowledge in 7 educational fields; training is provided not only through traditional face-to-face instruction, tutorials and practical work, but also through thematic workshops, internships, lectures and meetings with professional civil engineers, in order to let students know about the corresponding professions.
  • A third year that allows students to concretise their professional project by specialising in a specific professional sector or, conversely, by diversifying towards civil engineering and urban planning as a whole.
