University of Cyprus aims to establish itself as a Pioneer Research Institution achieving International Scientific Recognition in European Higher Education, offering Competitive Programmes and to become a Centre of Excellence in the wider Euro - Mediterranean Region.
The Department covers the traditional areas of Civil Engineering such as structures, building materials, earthquake engineering, construction management, geotechnical engineering, transportation, hydraulics as well as environmental topics such as management and protection of water resources, air pollution, and management of solid and liquid waste.The program is based on building strong foundations in Mathematics, Physics and Mechanics during the first two years, which are necessary for studying the advanced topics that follow. During the third year, the students undertake applied courses in the field of civil and environmental engineering. The fourth year offers students the flexibility to choose from a wide array of courses in civil engineering and environmental engineering according to their individual interests. Additionally, the fourth year includes the thesis (capstone design project), the subject of which covers each year a wide spectrum of areas within the discipline. With the successful completion of the program requirements, the student is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
