16 Engineering BSc Degree Programs in Africa

The degree offers further specialisation in engineering geology and hydrogeology. Engineering geology is the study of the behaviour of ground (soil and rock) and how likely it is to affect engineering works. It comprises geotechnical studies and relates to construction (eg founding or excavation) on and with geological materials (eg construction materials), and to the influences of geological, geomorphological and hydrological processes on construction and development. Hydrogeology refers to the occurrence, distribution and movement of water below the Earth’s surface. The study of groundwater is generally both quantitative (eg water supply, safe abstraction and the influences of pumping) and qualitative (eg contamination, remediation and drinking water).

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering is a 4-year degree that covers foundational physics, chemistry, and mathematics, along with an introduction to communication and design. Subsequent years focus on major subjects like Fluids, Geotechnics, Structures, and practical engineering projects.
