Bachelor in Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is concerned with the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure such as buildings, roads, bridges, water systems, and other structures that form the built environment. Coursework typically includes structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, construction materials, surveying, hydraulics, and transportation engineering, alongside project management principles. Students learn to apply mathematical and physical principles to structural design problems while also developing practical skills through laboratory testing of materials and computer-aided design software. Fieldwork and site visits are often incorporated to give students exposure to real construction practices and project management. Graduates work as structural engineers, site engineers, project managers, and infrastructure planners in construction firms, government agencies, and engineering consultancies, contributing to the planning and delivery of public and private infrastructure projects. This bachelor's program is delivered in English over 4 years at Başkent University in Ankara, Turkey, combining engineering theory with practical design coursework typical of civil engineering education at Turkish universities offering English-taught programs.
