Master Genie Civil

The Master Genie Civil at Université de Limoges, based in Egletons, is a two-year civil engineering program taught in French. As in other civil engineering programs, this field covers the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure such as buildings, roads, and structures, typically including coursework in structural mechanics, materials science, geotechnics, and construction management. Students generally study how to calculate and verify the structural performance of buildings and infrastructure, select suitable construction materials, and plan and supervise construction projects while meeting safety and regulatory standards. Depending on the specific options within the program, coursework may also address sustainable construction methods or specialized infrastructure types. Graduates of civil engineering master's programs commonly move into roles such as structural engineer, construction project manager, site engineer, or infrastructure consultant, working for engineering firms, construction companies, or public infrastructure authorities. The field provides a path from technical design roles toward broader project management responsibilities as engineers gain experience overseeing construction sites and teams. The program begins in September and lasts two years, with instruction conducted entirely in French, so applicants need strong French language skills alongside a technical or engineering background at the undergraduate level. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Based in Egletons, a smaller town associated with Université de Limoges known for its engineering training, the program offers a setting distinct from France's larger cities. Prospective students should be comfortable with applied mathematics, physics, and technical drawing, which underpin most of the coursework in this field.
