The School of Engineering at Mediterranean College was established in 2005 and was the first to ever offer an MEng Civil Engineering degree in Greek private higher education. The MEng/ BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering & Construction is validated by the University of Derby, a TOP30 UK University, according to the Guardian University Guide, 2020. Derby is a city of technology, with world-famous companies including Rolls-Royce, Bombardier and Toyota right on the University’s doorstep.
This is a five-year undergraduate programme with integrated Master’s, which can lead to a charted engineer status, according to the requirements of the UK Institute of Civil Engineers, and to full professional recognition in Greece.
What you will study
Our course is designed to cover the four, key civil engineering study fields: Structural, Geotechnical, Hydraulic and Infrastructure, mapping the Greek State University curriculum. It is also aligned with the Greek engineering industry, containing dynamics, structural analysis and reinforced concrete modules, so as to facilitate the local degree professional recognition process and to provide wide employment prospects in private or public construction projects.
This course enhances your skills in advanced areas of civil engineering theory, particularly structures and infrastructure design. You develop a thorough understanding of the process of civil engineering technical design and management. You are also introduced to key design skills in structures, fluids, geology, soil mechanics, surveying and materials. Your practice is strengthened with the use of contemporary software tools, such as AutoCAD, Beam2D, SAP2000/ARSA, MATLAB, and the focus on management enables you to develop entrepreneurial activity and pursue higher managerial positions in the technical sector.
You have access to high-end labs and facilities, enhancing your practical skills: Metrology, Concrete, CAD Design, Surveying, Soil Mechanics, Technology & Strength of Materials, Fluid Engineering. Our specialised academic staff and collaborating business partners keep you up to date with the latest industry developments and scientific research.
You will learn through lectures – including guest lectures, practical demonstrations and labs, tutorials, industry visits, field trips and extensive e-learning material. Assessment is designed to include individual and team coursework, case studies, prototype design, professional presentations, and written exams. Through dissertation, you will undertake to tackle realistic industry problems, that will give you an insight of real workplaces.
