At I.U.T de Nancy-Brabois — Université de Lorraine in Villers-lès-Nancy, France, the BUT - Génie civil - Construction durable (Civil Engineering — Sustainable Construction) is a three-year bachelor-level programme delivered in French, starting in September, with annual tuition of 178 EUR. Civil engineering is the discipline responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical infrastructure that supports human activity: buildings, bridges, roads, railway structures, tunnels, dams, drainage and water management networks, and urban public spaces. The sustainable construction orientation of this programme adds a systematic focus on reducing the environmental footprint of construction activity: students learn about low-carbon structural materials, passive building design, energy performance regulations, lifecycle assessment of infrastructure, and waste reduction on construction sites. Core technical subjects include structural analysis and mechanics, geotechnics and foundation engineering, construction materials, topography and land surveying, building information modelling, and site management and project coordination. Regular practical design exercises and supervised internships with construction companies or public works contractors give students direct experience of real engineering projects. Admission requires passing selection tests. Graduates are prepared for roles as site engineers, technical study officers, project coordinators, or site supervisors within the building and civil engineering industries, or in local authority infrastructure departments. Instruction is entirely in French.
