The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE)
is one of the four departments of the newly established
School of Engineering at the University of Cyprus. The Department
provides high quality degree programs at both undergraduate
and postgraduate levels. These programs emphasize fundamental
principles that prepare young engineers concerned with the
challenges of continuing to meet society’s needs in a rapidly
changing environment. They undertake investigation, research,
planning and design in an academic environment that is based
on cooperation between faculty, students, industry, research
and professional organizations. The students study in a
dynamic environment and have the opportunity to work with
and learn from research teams at the forefront of knowledge.

The CEE Department offers the following
degrees:
- B.Sc. in Civil and Environmental Engineering
- M.Sc. in Civil Engineering
- M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering
- Ph.D. in Civil Engineering
- Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering
Civil and Environmental engineering plays
a significant role in building modern society in a sustainable
future. It deals with the design, construction, management
and maintenance of the infrastructure on which society relies.
In addition to the buildings in which we live and work,
society depends on civil and environmental engineers for
providing clean water, energy, transport, waste management
and to protect the natural environment.

The faculty in the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering is part of the School of Engineering and contributes
fully to the worldwide reputation of the School for high
quality teaching and research. It is built with world-class
experienced academicians, researchers and practitioners.
There are professional opportunities for
Civil and Environmental engineers in both private practice
and public services. Graduates may pursue careers in design,
construction, maintenance, management or research and development.
For example, in urban or developing population areas and
industrial centers, Civil and Environmental Engineers serve
the public as planners, designers, and supervisors of transportation
systems, water resources projects, pollution control facilities,
private and public utility enterprises and other civil works. |
