Course Overview

Civil Engineering

The Diploma in Civil Engineering at Kingston Polytechnic College (KPC) is designed to provide students with strong technical knowledge and practical skills in construction technology, structural engineering, surveying, and infrastructure development. This program focuses on real-world applications, ensuring students gain hands-on experience in modern construction techniques, sustainable building practices, and project management. A key USP of this course is the Paid On-Job Training (OJT), which enables students to work on live projects in construction companies, real estate firms, and infrastructure development projects, helping them gain industry exposure and practical insights.

Graduates of this program have excellent career opportunities in construction firms, government infrastructure projects, real estate development, and urban planning. They can work as site engineers, structural designers, project supervisors, quality control officers, and surveyors, with opportunities in both private and public sectors. The increasing demand for skilled civil engineers ensures strong job prospects and career growth.
