Overview

The Civil Engineering degree at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, gives access to mobility pathways leading to double degrees with prestigious institutions across the world. Civil engineers are already contributing to meeting the UN's Sustainable Development Objectives, and civil engineering is a versatile area of knowledge that is present in a great number of spheres of action, many of them emerging and strategic, such as sustainable mobility, water supply, renewable energies and the energy transition, smart cities, just-in-time logistics, the circular economy and climate change.

Professional opportunities

Civil engineers join companies dealing with infrastructure, water flows, energy, goods and people as specialists, managers, designers, consultants and builders; ports, airports, stations and logistics centres; companies and institutions that manage natural resources and recycling and that intervene in the public use of cities; and consultancies and quality laboratories.

Sustainable and safe mobility
Universal right to water supply
Renewable energies and the energy transition
Mitigation of causes and effects of climate change
Resilience to natural disasters
Circular economy
Smart cities
Just-in-time logistics

For all of the above, civil engineering is entrusted with planning, conceiving, designing, building, maintaining, integrating and managing:

Transport infrastructure for intelligent mobility
Roads and channels that move water, energy, goods and people
Ports, airports, stations and logistics centres
Natural resource and waste recycling management systems
Public spaces in cities

These areas of work can be approached from different perspectives, from a public or private body, from the point of view of a manager, a designer, a consultant or a builder. Other areas are teaching, research and innovation.
