Road Engineering and Design

At Atlantic Technological University, tuition fees are 5,400 EUR per year.

Road engineering examines how transport routes are planned, constructed and maintained to meet safety, efficiency and environmental goals. The programme covers geotechnical site investigation, drainage and flood risk management, geometric design, bridge engineering and project appraisal, integrating national design standards and sustainable travel principles. Students explore the interaction between soil behaviour, water flow and structural performance, and learn to apply modelling tools for runoff prediction, traffic demand forecasting and structural analysis.

The course is suited to graduates of civil or structural engineering, surveying, construction management and related disciplines, as well as practising engineers seeking specialised knowledge in road and bridge design. Candidates should have a solid foundation in engineering principles and be comfortable with technical calculations and computer-based modelling.

Weekly labs, design studios and project simulations translate theory into practice.
