Introduction

The program offered by Civil Engineering Department of UCP is designed to widen the horizon of young graduates so that they may take up the challenges of the new era and modern development. The advances especially in Structural Engineering with innovative and new materials of construction have made it possible to construct high rise buildings and long span bridges to cater the increased demand of expanding population in urban areas of the Pakistan. A Civil Engineer equipped with specialized knowledge in field of structures is requirement of the construction industry and regulatory bodies of the Government

The Engineers specialized in the field of structures would be able to fullfil the requirements of construction at local and global level with quality and economy. The program would be carried out by foreign qualified and trained PhD faculty, meeting the demands of local and international standards.
