Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest

Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest is a public specialist university located in Bucharest, Romania. It is one of the country’s principal higher education institutions dedicated to civil engineering and infrastructure related disciplines and operates within the Romanian public university system.

The university traces its academic origins to 1864 with the establishment of the School of Bridges and Roads, Mines and Architecture. It was formally established in 1948 as the Civil Engineering Institute of Bucharest and later adopted its current name following institutional reforms in the 1990s.

The university is organised into seven faculties and one department covering civil engineering, hydrotechnics, transport infrastructure, building services engineering, geodesy and engineering taught in Romanian and foreign languages. Its academic offer spans bachelor, master and doctoral level study, with a strong focus on professional preparation and applied engineering practice.

Its facilities are distributed across multiple sites in Bucharest rather than a single enclosed campus. These include lecture halls, specialist laboratories, technical workshops and research centres focused on construction, infrastructure systems, hydrotechnics and geodesy.

Student life is based in Bucharest, a major European capital with a rich cultural and historical identity. 

The university has approximately 8,600 students and around 540 academic staff. Teaching is strongly practice oriented and closely aligned with the needs of the construction and infrastructure sectors.
