Civil Engineering 

Planning, Decision-making, Building

It is difficult to imagine our everyday lives without bridges, tunnels, hydroelectric power plants, road and rail networks, or residential, office and industrial buildings. All of these are subject to increasingly higher demands on standards and functionality, because our modern society requires reliable, efficient and safe infrastructure.

Career profile:

Civil engineers are highly sought-after specialists who perform demanding tasks in the service of our society. They are more than just cool-headed, smart designers and constructors. While taking the environment into account, they must ensure that buildings and installations are planned functionally, built cost-effectively, and are economically operated and maintained.

They work closely with architects, environmental engineers, geomatics engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, economists, lawyers and other specialists to provide essential bases for political decision-making processes. They work in engineering offices and construction companies; for federal, cantonal and municipal authorities; in power supply and transport companies; and in research and education.
