Civil and Environmental Engineering (BSc, 4 Years)

The Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) discipline deals with topics related to the design and construction of structures, concrete technology, soil engineering and foundations, hydrology, transportation engineering, as well as with topics related to environmental management and protection. Studies in the field of CEE provide the graduate with the necessary qualifications for a successful professional career with high earnings.

The program of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the University of Nicosia has been operating successfully since September 2013. It is supported by academic scientific staff with professional experience, engaged in applied and basic research, which guarantees a high quality university education.

The program of the University of Nicosia is fully accredited by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sport and Youth of Cyprus, as well as by the Scientific and Technical Chamber of Cyprus (ETEK) which is the local professional body of engineers. This ensures that our local graduates will be able to register as professional engineers in Cyprus.

Also, like all programs of study the University of Nicosia, it is certified by the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (CYQAA).

The University of Nicosia is recognized by the Hellenic National Academic Recognition and Information Center (D.O.A.T.A.P.) as equivalent to Greek H.E.I., while the degrees of its graduates have been recognized by D.O.A.T.A.P.

The University has well-equipped laboratories where students are given the opportunity to acquire important knowledge of the various laboratory tests and experimental procedures related to the broad field of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Specifically, the modern facilities include laboratories of concrete technology, soil engineering, fluid and hydraulic engineering, geodesy, environmental engineering as well as engineering software laboratory, which gives our students the opportunity to become familiar with the use of computers and modern methods of simulating engineering problems. During their studies, our students are provided with practical training opportunities, which increase the prospects of successful employment after graduation.

The Civil and Environmental Engineering program of the University of Nicosia aims to:

• qualify students to begin a professional career in the field of Civil and Environmental Engineering or to pursue further advanced post-graduate studies,
• equip graduates with the necessary theoretical tools and the fundamental principles of science and engineering in order to cope successfully with the technological challenges of the field,
• provide practical and experimental hands-on experience that allows the students to link directly to fundamental knowledge and theory, and
• promote engineering ethics, job responsibility, and moral practices.
