Civil Engineering Section

The first three years of study in the bachelor’s degree programme focus on acquiring the basic skills needed to understand concepts, master construction techniques, evaluate these techniques and integrate them into our natural and built environment.

The two years of study in the Master’s programme allow our students to perfect their fundamental knowledge, while specialising in one of the four programmes offered: Structural Engineering, Hydraulics and Energy, Geotechnics or Transport and Mobility.

Our mission is to train civil engineers by insisting on the necessity of a common component to our three sections of the ENAC faculty (Civil Engineering, Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Architecture) according to its concept “Projecting together”.

The civil engineering course at EPFL enables our students to acquire the knowledge needed to develop large-scale projects and to manage and implement them.
