Globally, Civil Engineers are essential to the provision of transportation systems, bridges, buildings and other infrastructure, clean water, waste management, and earthworks. With ever increasing global population, global urbanization and global concerns about climate change, the formal training of engineers in a global context becomes crucial. This program offers students the chance to develop their engineering skills in both University College Dublin and Columbia University, New York (ranked 16th best university in the world) and to graduate with a dual degree from both universities. Students will complete a mixture of taught modules, a work placement and research over the course of their studies on this program. The benefits to both graduates and the industry as a whole will be in the training of high-quality graduates with global knowledge and training of European and American engineering practices.
