Best Universities in Europe for Civil & Structural Engineering 2026 - QS World University Rankings

Civil engineering is a section of the scientific discipline "Civil Engineering", one of the oldest branches of human activity. The word "civil" here is synonymous with "non-military", the activities of the builders are aimed at non-military facilities. This line of work for civil engineers includes:

  • Planning
  • Design
  • Building
  • Repairs.

Civil engineering involves the construction of not only buildings, but also:

  • Roads
  • Bridges
  • Airports, railways, transport interchanges
  • Sewerage connection
  • Organization of water supply.

An example of civil engineering is the territorial design of tourist areas. Designers create infrastructure in conjunction with a tourist facility (for example, a castle or a monastery), taking care of the preservation of the unique facility and the convenience of tourists. Roads are being designed, including for cyclists and pedestrians, convenient transport interchanges, hotels, shopping centers.

Structural (construction) design is a type of civil design that is responsible for the strength of all structures. Construction designers design the supporting structures of all construction projects - from buildings to bridges - even during renovations and renovations.

Civil engineering is a popular direction in higher education, as recruitment agencies are constantly looking for specialists in this field.

Examples of Specialization for Civil Engineer:

  • Hydraulic engineering and hydrogeology
  • Land management
  • Municipal engineering
  • Civil engineering systems
  • Structural (construction) design
  • Construction surveys
  • Transport engineering
  • Construction management.

Obtaining a construction specialization at a European university will help you start your career in Europe on an equal footing with local job seekers.
