Civil Engineering Concordia University Montréal

Overview

The Civil Engineering programme at Concordia University Montréal provides students with advanced technical knowledge regarding the design, construction, and operation of modern infrastructure. This course-based degree is specifically structured to bridge the gap between undergraduate theory and high-level professional practice.

Students benefit from a curriculum that addresses the environmental impact of built facilities while strengthening specific areas of engineering expertise. The programme serves as an ideal platform for those looking to deepen their understanding of civil systems or transition into graduate-level research environments.

Why Civil Engineering at Concordia University Montréal?

This programme is delivered through the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science, which is known for its robust technical facilities. Students have access to specialised knowledge in building and environmental engineering through a department that emphasises practical application and modern design standards.

A distinctive feature of this degree is the optional co-op component. This allows participants to engage in paid, full-time internships lasting four or eight months. These placements provide invaluable opportunities to apply classroom learning to real-world engineering challenges within professional organisations.
