Civil Engineering is a civilized and basic engineering branch that deals with the planning, project, construction and inspection of all structures necessary for individuals to continue their lives in a civilized society that best combines materials and techniques in nature.

Civil engineers take part in all areas of the development and construction of countries. Basically, residences, high-rise buildings, railways, highways, bridges, dams, power plants, factories, industrial plants, treatment plants, ports, airports, etc. planning, projecting and construction of structures are among the main areas of interest of civil engineering. The production, examination and development of the materials used in all these structures is again the field of interest of civil engineering.

It continues its educational activities on the campus of Bingöl University.

GRADUATION AND EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS

Undergraduate education in the Department of Civil Engineering is 4 years. In the first two years, mainly basic engineering and basic civil engineering courses take place. In the next two years, apart from the compulsory civil engineering courses, there are technical elective courses in order to enable students to be directed to different fields related to civil engineering.

Our students who graduate from the Civil Engineering Department receive the title and authority of "Civil Engineer".

Our graduates can improve themselves in coastal, structural, transportation, hydraulic, material, earthquake, traffic and ground engineering ,which are sub-engineering of civil engineering, with a master's and doctorate.

Our graduated students can work in the academic staff of universities as well as in the construction and technical departments of universities as civil engineers. Apart from this, our students who are entitled to graduate can find the opportunity to work in Provincial and District Municipalities, Governorships, Prime Ministry, Ministry of Environment and Forestry and its directorates (State Water Works), Ministry of Transport and its directorates such as Highways, State Airports Administration, Railways, Energy and Natural Resources, Industry and Trade, Public Works and Settlement, the Ministries of Health and National Education and their directorates.
