Civil engineering encapsulates broad engineering fields focused on a range in infrastructural elements which include water, energy, railroads and buildings, to mention just a few.
Attending this higher certificate course will help to develop a grounding in both the theoretical and practical aspects of civil engineering.
It will give you a thorough knowledge of the materials, processes, technologies and standards required to design and build civil engineering structures of the highest quality. As a graduate, you will not only be industry-focused but you will have acquired the ability, versatility and know-how to help shape its development.
The Higher Certificate in Civil Engineering was developed to meet the needs of the modern day civil engineering industry. The programme is designed to help create a technical resource for the next generation of civil engineering companies operating both in Ireland and abroad, as well as meet the evolving requirements of a rapidly changing industry. This programme is designed to meet the requirements of individuals looking to develop valued technical skills and knowledge.
What opportunities might it lead to?
Gradates of this programme have successfully pursued careers with contractors, consultants, materials suppliers and local authorities both nationally and internationally. As a civil engineering technician, you can expect to work in a technical capacity as a manager, surveyor, draughts-person or a laboratory technician involved in testing materials and supporting companies in the civil trade. Some of the areas pursued by our recent graduates include:
- Construction management
- Quantity surveying
- Building Information Modelling (BIM)
- Water and wastewater treatment and assessment
- Precast concrete production
- Structural steel fabrication
