Civil engineering is one of the pillar industries fueling the Chinese economy. Our program is dedicated to producing graduates who demonstrate profound scientific and academic attainments. The education foundation also offers scholarships to over 30% of our undergraduate students every year. With a good command of basic theories and expertise in civil engineering as well as their creativity, leadership and global vision, our students are trained to deliver technical and managerial performance in such sectors as survey, design, construction, project management, development, and research.
Nowadays, China sees its urbanization in full swing. As urbanization keeps expanding, civil engineering has been enjoying the highest employment for many years in a row and such talents will be in great demand for the several decades to come. Therefore, graduates of related majors present promising prospects in both employment and financial return, and hold huge potential for career development.
