The area of interest for the online Three-year Degree Course in Civil Engineering is construction (civil and industrial buildings, remarkable construction projects such as bridges, dams, tunnels, etc.) and infrastructures (roads and transportation, supply, distribution and disposal of water systems, etc.). In this field, the Civil Engineer deals with the design and construction of works and takes care of their operation, maintenance, detection and control. In recent years, in the common matrix of the Civil Engineering sector, has been increasingly developing the demand for specialized professional figures such as, for example, the engineer for the environment and the territory or the construction engineer, who have now engaged in dedicated training offers.
The study course in Civil Engineering finds its applicability in the continuous request of professional figures with a solid preparation and a flexibility and refresher ability, essential to face the diverse problems and the continuous development of technologies related to the world of buildings and civil infrastructures.
The main educational objectives of the Degree in Civil Engineering are:
The professional profile is that of a Civil Engineer who is able to operate in one of the areas of traditional competence (architectural design, design of structures and infrastructures, design and management of hydraulic works and for sanitary engineering).
The educational offer, while being fully in line with the general objectives of the Civil Engineering Degrees (L7), is more specifically aimed at training emerging professionals in the Civil Engineering field. For this purpose, the didactic organization aims to ensure a knowledge of updated methods, techniques and tools, which allow to:
The educational path of the graduate in Civil Engineering is divided into three levels:
The aim of this specialisation is to train a graduate with a solid basic engineering background acquired in the first year of the course - which is equal to that of the existing course - to which is added a high level of qualification on environmental issues through the specific teachings of the following two years. In particular, the graduate in "Civil Engineering - Environmental specialisation" will be able:
To this end, in the second and third year of the course, alongside the traditional disciplines, there are courses related to soil protection, environmental appraisal, hydrology, transport systems and geomorphological risks. Furthermore, the student will be able to choose between various electives, such as urban planning, environmental assessment procedures and urban and environmental law, through the student can develop his/her training path.
The career opportunities are linked to those working fields where products and systems are planned and developed within the Civil field:
Furthermore, for students interested in continuing their studies, the objective is to successfully enrol in master's degree programs in Civil Engineering. In addition to access to subsequent study levels, this study course also allows to participate in the state exam for the qualification as an engineer.
The course trains you for the profession of:
The specific competencies of the graduate in "Civil Engineering – Environmental Specialisation" are more increasingly requested within the government and territory management entities, professional and sectorial companies, as well as public and private administrations, responsible for environmental sector competencies. The field of professional services remains open.
To be admitted to the Degree Course students must hold a secondary school diploma or other qualification awarded abroad officially recognized. The recognition of suitable qualifications awarded abroad for the sole purpose of admission to study courses is approved by the University, in compliance with current international agreements. It is also required a basic knowledge corresponding to the average level acquired through school education at upper secondary education level. The assessment of the basic knowledge will occur according to the methods indicated in the Academic Regulations of the course itself.

Pegaso International’s traineeships are integral part of the student academic curriculum, and are provided as practical activities of the academic record relevant to the completion of the study course. Traineeships may be mandatory or recognized as processes through which students may gain exemptions of credits. The number of credits gained for curricular traineeships is stated in the Standard Study Plans. Traineeship activities are officially recognised through the acknowledgement of credits (1 ECTS = 8 hours). Generally, the working hours are mutually agreed upon between the trainee and the host company, considering the current needs of both parties and the company working hours. Students may undertake the traineeship at any time of the year.
Students will be considered eligible for admission for a traineeship, upon the positive assessment of a minimum number of ECTS, with reference to:
Students are required to reach specific agreements with the host company and communicate the following data in writing to Pegaso International to the mail: traineeship@pegasointernational.eu
Upon completion of the traineeship, students are required to submit to the competent office the following documentation:
