OVERVIEW

Civil Engineering program is to design and build major structures and provide the skills and expertise to design, build and maintain the country’s infrastructure. Civil Engineering also applies the laws and principles of the basic sciences, primarily mechanics, to the design, modification, construction, and building of structures of all kinds, to resist and harness the forces of nature, and to improve the quality of life.

The curriculum provides students with skills and knowledge of planning, designing building construction and maintenance of civil engineering projects.
Graduates can work in international construction & civil companies as a designer, construction project manager and so on… enables future engineers to be at the forefront of serving society.


CAREER OPPORTUNITY

After graduating the Civil Engineering from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology - Bach Khoa (HCMUT), engineers can take a lot of work in the fields of Construction and Civil Engineering as:

• Design and constructions, design verification, construction project management, construction examination, and inspection
• To become lecturers and research staffs for international universities
• Companies recruiting graduates from HCMUT – Bach Khoa (HCMUT) are Bachy Soletance, Meinhardt, Apave, Aurecon, CPG, Arup, Unicons, Coteccons, Cofico,…

TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES

Students have 2 options:
Option 1:
Students study at HCMUT – Bach Khoa (HCMUT) for 4 years and get the Bachelor of Engineering in Civil awarded by HCMUT – Bach Khoa (HCMUT).

Option 2:
After completing 02 years at HCMUT – Bach Khoa (HCMUT), students with financial and academic eligibility may transfer to our following parner universities in Australia and USA the later 02 years to complete their study for Bachelor degree:

• Griffith University (Australia)
• The Catholic University of America (USA)

The official bachelor degree is awarded by the partner university.
The advantage of this option is that the student can save about 50% total fee (tuition fee and living expense) compared to studying for full 4 years in Australia to get a Bachelor Degree awarded by the partner university.
