What is the Course about?

Civil engineering deals with the built environment and encompasses much of what defines modern civilization. Buildings and bridges are often the most conspicuous of its creations but this discipline is also responsible for roads, railroads, subway systems, airports, water supply systems and waste disposal. In fact, civil engineering as a profession provides much of the infrastructure and essential services on which we depend for survival (further information is available on

This course is designed for graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering (NFQ Level 7) from Institute of Technology Carlow or equivalent qualifications. The course provides specialised training in infrastructure design and construction.

The course features a strong practical element with a combination of lectures and practical work in our specialised materials, hydraulic and environmental laboratories and workshops.

A work placement module between Years 4 and 5 will provide students with the opportunity to enhance their learning in working on real-life design or construction projects as part of a professional engineering team.

Special Features:

• Accredited by Engineers Ireland (EI) and graduates are eligible for membership of EI.
• The emphasis of the course is on geo-environmental specialities where civil engineering skills save money, resources and lives.
• Strong emphasis on ‘hands-on’ learning in our specialized civil engineering laboratories and workshops.
• Our lecturers are all chartered civil engineers with many years of national and/or international experience.
• Students participate in national competitions. For example, in 2015 Institute of Technology Carlow students won the Health and Safety Authority’s Safety in Construction competition with a further two teams reaching the final.
• Our graduates are successful both in Ireland and around the world working in organisations such as ESB, Carlow Precast, WBHO Civil (Perth), PJ Hegarty & Sons, BAM Contractors, SISK Group.
