Career Prospects

Building construction and land development is one of the major sectors of the Cypriot economy. Despite the current financial crisis, there is still a great deal of construction going on including building constructions, road constructions, and land development. A great emphasis is also focused on green development and the design of environment friendly, sustainable, and ecological buildings. Processing and management of solid wastes and wastewater treatment constitute additional areas of employment for our graduates. Specifically, a graduate with a BSc degree in Civil & Environmental Engineering may be employed in the following fields:

Building constructions
Road and highway constructions
Construction of dams and bridges
Underground construction (e.g. subway, tunnels)
Restoration of old and traditional buildings
Construction of ports and coastal protection structures
Platform design and construction
Research and development
Education including teaching and research
Recycling and waste management
Processing of hazardous material

Access to Further Studies

After completion of the BSc program in Civil & Environmental Engineering, students may opt to broaden and deepen their academic qualifications and skills by pursuing post-graduate (Master and PhD) studies in the same or related field in Cyprus or overseas.
