Description
The study program “Master of Science in Civil Engineering”, offered by École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in French, requires from candidates to have a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from a reputable university. Students are able to expand their knowledge of infrastructures that satisfy the vital needs of society in terms of food, water, energy, transportation and housing, as well as being protected against natural disasters under the constraint of sustainability and protection of the environment. The tasks they are given to work on help them develop an approach towards designing, building, managing and maintaining complex infrastructure projects while taking into consideration socio-economic and environmental interactions. Studies cover the fields of structures, hydraulic schemes and energy, geotechnics and tunneling, transportation infrastructures and systems, management, legal and economic factors, as well as environmental issues. The university prioritizes transdisciplinary teaching and cooperation by bringing together civil engineers, architects, and environmental engineers through the program “Design and build together”. Graduates have the skills needed to build a career in an engineering consulting firm, a construction company or a government agency.
