Profile of the programme The overall objective of this study cycle is to ensure specialised training in Civil Engineering, of international level, required to the exercise of the profession with the ability to assume the responsibility in the design of engineering solutions, serving the interests of society in general and its sustainable development. It is intended that UBI's Masters exercise the profession of Civil Engineer, as defined by the Order of Engineers and International pairs, applying theoretical, practical and experimental knowledge framed by economic, environmental, social and ethical constraints. For this purpose, it provides:

* Broad education in the main scientific and technical Civil Engineering domains, with a focus on the critical formative aspects for each one of these domains;
* Specialisation branches in 'Structures and Construction' and 'Geotechnics and Environment'.
Key learning outcomes The study programme aims to provide the following knowledge, skills and competences:
- Ability to consolidate and apply knowledge in the core scientific areas of Civil Engineering;
- Ability to apply methods and techniques to analyse and solve complex and diverse problems;
- Ability to communicate written and oral knowledge;
- Ability to teamwork and autonomous learning;
- Ability to research and study, analyse and critical interpretation of information;
- Entrepreneurial capacity, of respect for interdisciplinarity and innovation for sustainability;
- Ability to develop scientific and technical competences that allow rapid and effective integration in professional activity.
Occupational profiles of graduates Graduates from UBI are qualified to perform technical, management, and leadership roles in various areas of the Civil Construction and Public Works sector. Their broad academic background enables them to join multidisciplinary teams intervening in all stages of the infrastructure life cycle, from planning, design and construction to maintenance, rehabilitation, deconstruction and demolition. Main career opportunities include:
• Designers in engineering firms and consultants;
• Technical staff in construction, supervision, and rehabilitation companies working on buildings and infrastructures such as bridges, dams, special structures, geotechnical works, river regulation works, water supply and drainage networks, sanitation and waste management systems, roads, urbanization works, transport and urban mobility, and also in the production of construction materials, prefabrication, maintenance and construction management;
• Technical staff and managers in public administration, municipalities, and regulatory agencies;
• Trainers and collaborators in R&D centers and specialised institutes;
• Entrepreneurs developing innovative solutions for the construction sector.
The degree qualifies graduates to pursue 3rd cycle studies (doctorate) and allows access to national and international professional bodies and associations, enhancing global career prospects.
