Civil Engineering (Hons) UCSI University

Overview

Civil Engineers plan, design, construct and maintain buildings, airports, harbours, roads, railways, bridges, and tunnels among others. Thus, Civil Engineers play a very important role in shaping and controlling the environment (e.g. water and waste, floods and irrigation, traffic management).

Students will apply what they learn to real-life projects where financial and ethical issues are taken into account. By the end of the programme, students at UCSI University will be well prepared to devise high impact solutions and change lives for the better.
