The Department offers the following two orientations with the respective curricula that fully meet the needs of the 21st century.

• Civil Engineering  
• Surveying Engineering and Geoinformatics Engineering

These specializations are playing a significant role in the identification, classification, formulation, creation and maintenance of the built environment so as to fit in harmony in the natural environment.

The Civil Engineers are responsible for the planning, design, construction and maintenance of buildings, roads and bridges, ports, dams, coastal infrastructure, airports, water supply systems, providing clean water and health care, etc. The degree of Civil Engineering offers a wide range of professional opportunities to its holders at a both national and international level. The Civil Engineers now have the opportunity to apply their skills in various construction projects of large and small scale, while an opportunity may also arise in study group projects that involve people from a wide range of specialties.

With these capabilities Civil Engineers can assist in building construction using ecological systems as well as in the development and provision of practical solutions such as the life-cycle analysis method using intelligent urban systems and infrastructure networks. Civil engineers have more and more the opportunity to come into contact with new technologies that will enable them to develop effective solutions and make a significant contribution to society.

The Surveying Engineers and Geoinformatics Engineers are responsible for the measurement, study and management of three-dimensional space through the development and implementation of complex techniques, analysis, processing and interpretation of large-scale measurement and qualitative information derived from our three-dimensional geographic environment. Surveying Engineers and Geoinformatics Engineers are responsible for the development of new methods and measurement techniques as well as for studying interdependencies and changes of the acquired information according to their applications. These applications range from surveying, photogrammetric, hydrographic, geodetic and geophysical surveys, remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) to the local and regional planning, environmental monitoring, archeology, coastal management, etc.

Both orientations of Civil Engineering and Surveying Engineering also include research and education areas such as water resources management and planning, design and operation of transportation systems.

The Civil Engineering Department of the Cyprus Technological University aims to develop high-level courses that will lead students towards ensuring undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. The graduates can work in a dynamic and stimulating environment that allows them to develop the wide range of skills making their presence important in the upgrading and improvement of quality of life and space infrastructures in which they operate.

The Civil Engineering Department will provide high quality education and research programmes with international guidelines. The Department offers students the opportunity to develop a strong technical and theoretical background through their curricula. Also, students will better understand the practical importance of the direction they choose aiming to develop the necessary skills for their future involvement in the workplace.

The Department aims the students’ direct engagement with industry, consultancy firms and public bodies. This will give students the opportunity to come into direct contact with the current developments in Civil Engineering and Surveying Engineering while working alongside professionals through their traineeship.

The Department aims to develop partnerships with other academic institutions from the European and international level and to encourage both the institution of students’ exchange and the establishment of cooperation institution through visiting scholars thus helping significantly postgraduate and undergraduate students of the Department with their own specialization.  

The Department's curricula aim to provide students with a theoretical and technical background in the directions of Civil Engineering, Surveying Engineering and Geoinformatics Engineering taking into account the current and future needs of the society. The number of selected courses offered by the department for both orientations will provide students the opportunity to choose from the latest thematic areas such as offshore constructions, durability and construction risk management, radiometry and microwave science, monuments capture, property value assessments etc.
