Master in Civil and Environmental Engineering

Our teaching methodology is based on theoretical explanations followed by problem resolutions. Since 1st year students start to contact real life problems, as the practical exercises are applied to specific projects. Subjects like mechanics, strength of materials and theory of structures use real projects as means of teaching and evaluating design from its early stages. In constructions, the courses of buildings, I, II and II study a construction in all its stages from building walls to design proper energy efficient buildings.
