What it is

The first year covers calculus, linear algebra, applied physics, mechanics, materials chemistry, construction law and urbanism, then vector calculus, numerical methods, strength of materials, hydraulics and geomatics, and later reinforced concrete, steel structures, soil mechanics, hydrology and transport infrastructure. Fourth-year electives, over thirty in number, let you focus on maritime works, geotechnics, sustainability, smart cities, renewable energy, water management or urban logistics, and a bachelor thesis closes the degree. Graduates work as designers, managers, consultants and builders in infrastructure, transport, ports, water and renewable energy.
