Bachelor in Licence - Génie civil

The tuition fee is 178 EUR per year.

Génie civil, or civil engineering, is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction, and maintenance of the built environment, including buildings, bridges, roads, water systems, and other infrastructure. At Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, this Licence in civil engineering, based in Reims, France, introduces students to the physical and mathematical principles that underlie structural design, along with subjects such as mechanics of materials, geotechnics, hydraulics, surveying, and construction technology. Coursework generally combines theoretical modules in mathematics and physics with more applied topics like structural analysis, concrete and steel design, and project management, often supported by drawing and computer-aided design exercises. Students develop the ability to read technical plans, calculate loads and stresses, and understand regulatory and safety requirements that govern construction projects. Because civil engineering touches nearly every stage of infrastructure development, graduates find opportunities in construction firms, engineering consultancies, public works departments, and urban planning offices, working on projects ranging from residential buildings to transport networks and environmental infrastructure. Some continue directly into the workforce as junior engineers or technicians, while others pursue further study toward an engineering degree or a master's degree to qualify for more senior technical roles. This bachelor's program is delivered over three years, entirely in French, and is scheduled to start in September. Annual tuition is set at 178 EUR, consistent with public tuition rates at French universities. Prospective students should check current application requirements, since admission to French Licence programs is generally organized through the Parcoursup national platform.
