Key Summary
Introduction
- No1 in Greece | Top 30 in the UK.
- Leads to an integrated Master’s degree.
- Covers all Civil Engineering study fields.
- Worldwide professional recognition.
The School of Engineering at Mediterranean College was established in 2005 and was the first to ever offer an MEng Civil Engineering degree in Greek private higher education. The MEng/ BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering & Construction is validated by the University of Derby, a TOP30 UK University, according to the Guardian University Guide, 2020. Derby is a city of technology, with world-famous companies including Rolls-Royce, Bombardier and Toyota right on the University’s doorstep.
This is a five-year undergraduate programme with an integrated Master’s, which can lead to a charted engineer status, according to the requirements of the UK Institute of Civil Engineers, and to full professional recognition in Greece.
What you will study
Our course is designed to cover the four, key civil engineering study fields: Structural, Geotechnical, Hydraulic and Infrastructure, mapping the Greek State University curriculum. It is also aligned with the Greek engineering industry, containing dynamics, structural analysis and reinforced concrete modules, so as to facilitate the local degree professional recognition process and to provide wide employment prospects in private or public construction projects.
This course enhances your skills in advanced areas of civil engineering theory, particularly structures and infrastructure design. You develop a thorough understanding of the process of civil engineering technical design and management. You are also introduced to key design skills in structures, fluids, geology, soil mechanics, surveying and materials. Your practice is strengthened with the use of contemporary software tools, such as AutoCAD, Beam2D, SAP2000/ARSA, MATLAB, and the focus on management enables you to develop entrepreneurial activity and pursue higher managerial positions in the technical sector.
You have access to high-end labs and facilities, enhancing your practical skills: Metrology, Concrete, CAD Design, Surveying, Soil Mechanics, Technology & Strength of Materials, Fluid Engineering. Our specialised academic staff and collaborating business partners keep you up to date with the latest industry developments and scientific research.

Career Opportunities
Degree recognition
As a holder of a recognised MEng degree, you may individually apply for membership with the UK Institute of Civil Engineers. This five-year MEng course allows you to pursue a Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, so that you can also claim full professional recognition in Greece. The four-year BEng programme leads to an Incorporated Engineer professional status. In any case, should you wish to obtain a license to practice in Greece, you are required to apply for professional recognition with ATEEN (Hellenic Ministry of Education), which grants you the right to then register with the Technical Chamber of Greece.
Postgraduate study
After successfully completing the programme, you may continue for a Master’s degree at Mediterranean College or at overseas universities. At Mediterranean College, you can choose among:
- MSc Civil Engineering and Construction
- MSc Renewable Energy Engineering
If you wish to combine Engineering with Management and pursue higher managerial positions in Engineering or other industries, you may like one of the following postgraduate courses:
- MBA Global
- MBA Global Finance
- MSc Big Data Analytics
Career
As a Civil Engineer, you can work in the design, construction, maintenance, and management of buildings and infrastructures, in the private or public sector. You may work as a freelancer Civil Engineer or as an associate or employee at:
- Technical/ construction firms
- Engineering planning/ consulting agencies
- Construction materials & machine trading companies
- Repair companies
- Workshops and research laboratories
