Bachelor in Licence - Génie civil

At La Rochelle Université, the tuition fee is 178 EUR per year.

Civil engineering — Génie civil — is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction, and maintenance of physical infrastructure: roads, bridges, buildings, dams, tunnels, water systems, and coastal structures. Students in a Licence Génie civil study structural mechanics, materials science, fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, construction management, and applied mathematics. Courses combine theoretical principles with technical design exercises that introduce students to the tools and calculations used in professional engineering practice. This bachelor programme is offered at La Rochelle Université in La Rochelle, France. It runs over 3 years, starting in September, with instruction in French throughout. Annual tuition is 178 EUR. Graduates from a civil engineering licence typically continue to a master's degree or engineering school to achieve the full qualifications required for professional engineering practice in France. Career paths include structural design, site management, urban planning, public works contracting, environmental engineering, and infrastructure project management. The public and private sectors both draw heavily on civil engineering graduates, from local government infrastructure departments to large construction and consulting firms. La Rochelle's coastal location introduces students to the practical engineering challenges of maritime and coastal infrastructure — seawalls, port structures, and flood management — which adds a specific regional dimension to the discipline's broader curriculum.
