Civil Engineering


Civil Engineers create the essentials that are often taken for granted in our everyday lives. Examples are:

  • Water supply systems including treatment works,
  • Dams, and pipelines ;
  • Waste management facilities such as landfills ;
  • Transportation systems such as roads, railways, airports and harbours ; and
  • Structures such as bridges, sports stadiums, office blocks and convention centres.

The University of KwaZulu-Natal offers a broad-based Civil Engineering qualification that is up-to-date, relevant to industry and society, and is internationally recognized. Our graduates readily find top jobs with leading companies or develop successful businesses of their own.
