Master in Civil Engineering

The tuition fee is 5,352 USD per year.

Civil Engineering is a master's programme taught in English at Università degli Studi di Cagliari, in Cagliari, Italy. The discipline focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, roads, water systems, and other structures that support daily life. Typical coursework includes structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic engineering, construction materials, and project management, alongside subjects addressing the environmental and safety considerations involved in infrastructure projects. Students often work on design projects that require them to apply engineering principles to real-world constraints, including cost, materials availability, and regulatory requirements. Civil engineers are needed across public and private sectors, and graduates typically find roles such as structural engineer, site engineer, infrastructure planner, or construction project manager, working for engineering consultancies, construction companies, or government agencies responsible for public infrastructure. Some graduates specialise further in areas like geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, or water resource management, while others move into project management roles overseeing the delivery of large-scale construction projects. The field also offers opportunities in research, particularly around sustainable construction materials and methods for building resilient infrastructure. The programme runs for two years and is delivered entirely in English, making it accessible to international students who want to study civil engineering in Italy. Admission is open access, meaning a bachelor's degree or an equivalent qualification is required to enrol, without a separate entrance competition. This structure suits students coming from an undergraduate engineering background who want to deepen their technical expertise and move toward professional practice or further specialisation in a particular area of civil engineering.
