Objectives

This master's programme brings students to the advanced level of knowledge and skills that is associated with scientific work in the broad sense, and more particularly to those areas of the engineering sciences that are related to civil engineering. The focus of the civil engineering major is on the construction of buildings and infrastructure. Design processes as well as aspects of technical execution are discussed extensively.

Degree holders are able to apply the acquired scientific knowledge independently in a broad social context. Furthermore, they have the necessary organisational skills to hold executive positions.

Graduates obtain the professional title of ‘industrieel ingenieur’. Students can enrol in this initial master's programme on a full-time or part-time basis The campus focuses on a specific research area and is equipped with high-tech laboratories to conduct research in their respective fields.

The programme-specific learning outcomes are:

Knowledge and comprehension (MK)
