Bachelor of Civil Engineering with Honours

Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Hons) is a 4-year degree programme at MAHSA University. It has been carefully developed with input from industry experts and is approved by both the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) Malaysia and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). The course aims to give students strong knowledge and skills needed for work in civil engineering, especially in designing and building structures. Civil engineers help build a better and more sustainable future. They use logical thinking and problem-solving skills to face real-world challenges. This programme focuses on student-centred and problem-based learning, along with practical training. This helps students improve their critical thinking and hands-on abilities. As part of the course, students must complete an internship with industry partners. This is required for EAC accreditation and helps students gain real work experience. The course prepares students with the technical and teamwork skills needed for the engineering field and helps them apply their knowledge in real situations.
