Civil Engineering

Course Diretor António Miguel Verdelho Paula [mpaula@ipb.pt]

Degree awarded

"Licenciatura em Engenharia Civil". Title of "Licenciado".

Qualification level

1st Cycle of Studies. EQF level 6. ISCED 2011 level 6.

Admission requirements

Students may apply to the 1st cycle of studies through the general regime, through special conditions and through special competitions, as stated in the description of the Portuguese Higher Education System, provided by NARIC (http://www.dges.mctes.pt/DGES/pt/Reconhecimento/NARICENIC/) and presented in section 8 of the Diploma Supplement. Students may apply, through the general regime, if they obtain a minimum classification of 95 points (on a scale of 0 to 200) in the national entrance examinations of Physics and Chemistry (07) and Mathematics (16).

Accreditation of prior learning

Following the implementation of the Bologna Process and the consequent legislation regarding the mobility of students among degrees and higher education institutions, prior learning must be recognized and credited. The prior learning concept comprises all the previous learning/training undertaken in other higher education study cycles in national or international institutions (crediting of certified training), as well as previous professional experience and any post-secondary school training or education. As such, the IPB promotes the crediting of the student’s prior learning when arriving at the institution. Aiming at a quick and full integration of the student in his/her new education programme, the recognition procedures must be submitted when enrolling at the IPB. For further enquiries on crediting and recognizing prior learning and training at the IPB (calendars, procedures and assessment criteria), please go to the pages https://ipb.pt/pt/estudar, https://ipb.pt/pt/estudar/estudantes/servicos-academicos and https://ipb.pt/pt/estudar/candidaturas/creditacao.

Key learning outcomes

The degree of "licenciado" (bachelor) in Civil Engineering is awarded to those students that demonstrate the knowledge, skills and competencies required to solve problems and demonstrate a professional approach in the following domains: design, construction and maintenance/rehabilitation of civil construction works, involving the specialities of concrete and pre-stressed concrete structures, steel and composite structures, structures strengthening and monitoring, hydraulic structures, control and monitoring of treatment plants, geotechnical infrastructure, land supporting structures and road infrastructures; coordination of projects, safety and quality management, management of buildings and urban and inter-urban infrastructures. To complete the qualification, the student is required to pass all compulsory course units of the study plan.

Occupational profile of graduates

The degree of "licenciado" (bachelor) in Civil Engineering belongs to the education and training area of Technologies. Graduates are qualified to develop a professional activity within the profile of the programme.

Access to further study cycles

The degree of "licenciado" allows to proceed to post-graduate studies, according to the diagram of the Portuguese Higher Education System, provided by NARIC (http://www.dges.mctes.pt/DGES/pt/Reconhecimento/NARICENIC/) and presented in section 8 of the Diploma Supplement.

Examination, assessment and grading regulations

Examination and assessment are regulated by the IPB general regulation, available in https://ipb.pt/pt/estudar/candidaturas/regulamentacao-academica, and by the School pedagogical regulation, available in www.estig.ipb.pt.
