Department of Civil Engineering
The Department of Civil Engineering was founded in 1993 and is housed in one of the buildings of the former Papariga Factories in Pedion Areos that was converted into classrooms, offices and laboratories. The first students entered during the academic year 1994 – 1995. In August 1994, the first Teaching and Research Staff positions of the Department were announced.
The mission of the Department is:
- To offer high-quality education in the Science of Civil Engineering and provide an open and welcoming environment for our students, researchers and staff to achieve their best and reach their academic goals.
- To ensure that our students are receiving high-quality training on a wide range of topics in Civil Engineering, qualifying them with the necessary skills for employment in related fields of specialization in the public and private sector.
- To promote international mobility of students/researchers and faculty members.
- To perform cutting-edge research in all aspects of Civil Engineering, with the aim of advancing science and ensuring safety, sustainability and resilience.
- To promote national and international academic synergies.
The above targets should be fulfilled within the framework of producing and disseminating engineering knowledge, scientific research and technological innovation based on a high-quality curriculum with international standards. Moreover, the Department aims to cultivate all its members with a sense of social awareness and noble scientific rivalry, based on democratic values, freedom of ideas’ development and inspiration.
The Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Thessaly provides a modern five-year program of undergraduate studies, which corresponds to an Integrated Master’s Degree level 7 of the National and European Qualifications Framework. Upon completion of the study program, the graduate possesses advanced theoretical and applied knowledge in the science of Civil Engineering, covering all traditional fields. The graduate is expected to possess the necessary scientific knowledge, abilities and skills and to be able to study, design, synthesize, construct, maintain the given or shaped environment, including but not limited to cities, roads, bridges .
