Master Mecanique — Génie civil

Tuition fees for Master Mecanique — Génie civil are 250 EUR per year.

The Master Mecanique at Université d'Orléans includes a Génie civil (civil engineering) track, situating this branch of the program within civil engineering, a discipline concerned with the design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, roads and water systems. This field covers structural analysis, materials used in construction, geotechnical engineering, and the principles governing the safety and durability of built structures. Students typically study structural mechanics, construction materials and methods, and project management practices specific to construction, alongside the regulatory and safety standards that govern civil works. Coursework often includes design projects addressing structural or infrastructure problems, requiring students to apply engineering principles to realistic construction scenarios, along with training in the software tools used for structural modeling and design. Career paths associated with civil engineering include roles as structural engineers, site engineers and project managers within construction firms, engineering consultancies and public infrastructure agencies. Graduates may also work in geotechnical engineering, infrastructure maintenance, or the planning and oversight of large-scale construction projects, and some pursue further specialization or professional engineering qualifications. Because civil engineering sits under a broader mechanics-focused master's degree here, students in this track typically build on general mechanical and structural principles before specializing in construction-related applications. This is a two-year master's program based in Orleans Cedex 2, France, delivered in French, with a start date inferred for September and a yearly tuition of 250 EUR.
