The Department of Civil Engineering, which commenced its services under the name of Civil Engineering at Karadeniz Technical University in the 1994-1995 academic year, was integrated into the Faculty of Engineering at Gümüşhane University, a newly established institution, starting from the year 2008. The Civil Engineering Department consists of five main areas: Geotechnical, Hydraulic, Mechanical, Transportation, and Structural Engineering. With a history of 28 years in education and instruction, the department introduced a part-time (evening) undergraduate program in 2009 and later, a Master's program, followed by a Doctorate program starting from the 2017-2018 Spring semester. The Civil Engineering Department continues its educational activities with an academic staff consisting of 5 Professors, 2 Associate Professors, 6 PhD instructors, 1 Lecturer, and 5 Research assistants.
Earned Degrees
Upon successful completion of the program and completion of the program qualifications, a Master's or PhD degree in civil engineering is obtained.
Terms of Admission
