Bachelor in BUT - Génie civil - Construction durable

Tuition fees are 178 EUR per year.

The BUT - Génie civil - Construction durable (Civil Engineering — Sustainable Construction) at the Institut Universitaire de Technologie de Reims in Reims, France, is a three-year bachelor-level degree delivered in French, beginning each September, with yearly tuition of 178 EUR. Civil engineering is concerned with the design, construction, and maintenance of the infrastructure that forms the backbone of modern society: buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels, drainage systems, and urban development projects. The sustainable construction strand of this programme brings a particular focus on low-carbon building methods, energy-efficient structural design, the use of alternative and recycled materials, and construction practices that limit environmental impact over the full life cycle of a structure. Students study structural mechanics, geotechnics, construction materials science, topography, site management, and building information modelling. Regulatory frameworks and environmental standards applicable to construction in France and the European Union are also covered. Practical design projects form a recurring part of the curriculum, and supervised internships on construction sites give students direct experience with real-world engineering challenges. Graduates enter the workforce as site supervisors, technical study engineers, project coordinators, quantity surveyors, or works managers within building companies, civil engineering contractors, or public authority technical services. The degree also provides a solid foundation for students who wish to continue into a specialised master's programme. Teaching is entirely in French.
