Browse Programs Admission InformationThe Bachelor's program in Public Works at Mouloud MAMMERI University of Tizi-Ouzou is structured according to the LMD system and spans six semesters. It aims to train professionals capable of designing, managing, and executing infrastructures such as roads, railways, ports, and airports. Graduates are prepared to enter various sectors, including design offices, technical laboratories, construction companies, and public institutions. They also have the opportunity to pursue further studies in Master's or Doctorate programs in related fields.
During semesters 1 to 4, students undertake fundamental teaching units covering disciplines such as general mathematics (analysis, linear algebra, applied statistics), applied physics (mechanics, thermodynamics), materials chemistry (properties of construction materials), strength of materials (stress and deformation analysis), general topography (surveys, leveling, cartography), introduction to civil engineering (basic concepts on structures and materials), applied computer science (introduction to computer-aided design software), and technical communication (report writing, project presentation). These courses are complemented by tutorials and practical work, promoting a balanced pedagogical approach between theory and application.
In the third year of the Bachelor's program in Public Works, semesters 5 and 6 are dedicated to in-depth specialization in the field of infrastructure. The fundamental teaching units cover essential disciplines such as:
Reinforced and prestressed concrete, beams and trusses, and metal structures.
Soil mechanics and Foundations: analysis of soil properties and their behavior under loads, design of retaining walls, and soil bearing capacity.
Road infrastructure: design and dimensioning of roads, including road materials.
Applied topography: topographic survey techniques for public works projects.
Final Year Project (PFC): a synthesis project allowing students to apply the knowledge acquired during the training to a concrete project, often related to real-world issues in the public works sector.
These subjects are supplemented by methodological and transversal units, including laboratory practicals and applied projects, aimed at strengthening students' practical skills.
These advanced subjects are designed to prepare students for increased technical and professional responsibilities by equipping them with specific skills tailored to the demands of the infrastructure labor market.
Admission to the Bachelor's program in Public Works is open to holders of a baccalaureate in the following streams: Mathematics, Technical Mathematics, and Experimental Sciences. Admitted students enroll in the first year (L1) within the Sciences and Technologies domain, with a common core during the first two semesters (S1 and S2). This path then leads to a specialization in Public Works starting from the second year.
The Bachelor's degree spans six semesters over three years (L1, L2, L3) and is validated by acquiring 180 credits. Progression to the third year (L3) is granted by right to any student who has acquired the 120 credits from the first four semesters (S1 to S4). However, conditional progression is possible for students who have obtained at least 90 credits.
