ABOUT
What is Civil Engineering?
It is the area of engineering that involves the conception, planning, design, construction and maintenance of the built environment. Through Civil Engineering we transform and adapt nature, we design and build cities/populations, transport networks, structures for energy production, water supply and sanitation networks, river and maritime protection structures, thus contributing to promoting the well-being of global society and its sustainable development.
Who should apply?
Candidates with basic training in Civil Engineering, who wish to acquire advanced training in the areas of Structures and Geotechnics, Construction, Land Planning and Transport and Hydraulics, Water Resources and Environment.
GENERIC OBJECTIVES
M.EC intends to train Engineers capable of conceiving, designing and managing Civil Engineering systems, structures and works, applying updated and adequate analysis methodologies, materials, equipment and processes, with respect for Ethics, Environment and the best interests of the Community. For this, it offers a training that reconciles:
+ complementary training to the First Degree, very comprehensive in the major scientific and technical areas of Civil Engineering, with in-depth assessment of its essential training aspects;
+ a specialization in one of the scientific and technical areas of Civil Engineering.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
This study cycle aims to ensure that students obtain:
+ Advanced knowledge involving, in particular, applied scientific and technological domains of Civil Engineering. It is intended to ensure a complementary training to the Degree in Civil Engineering in the areas of Structures and Geotechnics, Construction, Territory Planning and Transport and Hydraulics, Water Resources and Environment, including advanced knowledge in relevant aspects.
+ Ability to perform all Civil Engineering Acts, with the graduates of this CE able to be admitted by the Order of Engineers with E2 Qualification Degree.
+ Skills that enable to conceive, design and manage Civil Engineering systems, structures and works, with critical
thinking in decision making; communication skills and teamwork, and a vocation for lifelong learning.
ACCREDITATION
This study programme is accredited by the Higher Education Assessment and Accreditation Agency (A3ES).

CIVIL’in
CIVIL’in is a welcoming program whose mission is to integrate and guide new students, enabling their best reception, reception and integration. Each new student is assigned a “tutor” who will accompany him throughout the year, through the sharing of experiences and notes and clarification of doubts. Beginning in the 2015/16 school year, this idea came from the students themselves, in order to help newcomers to overcome the feeling of fear and disorientation that can arise when entering college.

FEUP’s mission is “Education and training of engineering professionals at an international level, sustained by Research and Development of excellence with regional focus but with recognized quality at a global level and in an extension practice of recognized quality, covering the scientific, technical aspects , ethics and cultural ”. The Master in Civil Engineering (MEC) completely revises itself in this mission, by providing an advanced training in Civil Engineering enabling its graduates to embark on professional careers in national and international terms. To this end, it gives its students varied, technical and personal skills, of recognized importance in the business world. The main professional opportunities of a Master in Civil Engineering are located, at the level of public intervention, in the scope of the construction of buildings, roads and railways, bridges and viaducts, hydraulic works and basic sanitation works, while in the private domain they are mainly aimed at residential buildings, industrial buildings and the various infrastructures. For those who want to pursue an academic career or obtain a doctoral qualification, they can continue their training in the Doctoral Program in Civil Engineering.
