Bridge in Japan, the Petronas Twin towers in Malaysia, and Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emeritus.

Programme Overview

We offer a bachelor degree in Civil Engineering at German University in Cairo. Civil engineers have contributory roles in the sustainability and advancement of civil societies. Moreover, civil engineers systematically provide efficient mitigation and innovative solutions meeting society needs and aspirations.

Civil engineers; plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain the built environment for modern life. They help protect the society from natural disasters, e.g. floods, earthquakes and hurricanes, as well as manage natural resources. A civil engineer should demonstrate good work ethics and maintain responsibility to the public.

Civil engineers are fortunate since they design and build their own monuments (high-rise buildings, bridges, towers, skyscrapers, subway stations, hydroelectric dams, tunnels, water supply networks, irrigation systems, roads, transportation systems, airports, industrial facilities, energy facilities, utility lines, etc.) with the public consent.
