Program Overview

Civil Engineering is one of the core disciplines in engineering education in Algeria. It is offered at many Algerian universities and covers a wide range of subjects aimed at preparing students to work in construction, roads, bridges, hydraulics, as well as concrete and steel structures.


Civil Engineering is a vital specialization that contributes to the development of a society’s infrastructure. The field requires a combination of scientific knowledge, practical skills, teamwork abilities, and effective communication. It is an excellent choice for students interested in designing and constructing structures and contributing to the improvement of their surrounding environment.
