Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering
Barcelona School of Civil Engineering (ETSECCPB)
Civil engineers are professionals who have good analytical and decision-making skills, which allow them to find efficient and sustainable solutions to complex technological and engineering problems. They are graduates who are professionally qualified to plan, manage, construct and conserve civil engineering projects. On this bachelor's degree you will acquire a solid grounding and broad mastery of technical knowledge and work management skills.
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.
