Learn to design, construct and maintain our natural and built environment in a way that is futureproof and sustainable.
Civil engineers play a crucial role in shaping our world and society. In fact, it is hard to imagine a world without them. Infrastructures, buildings, water resources, coastal protection: our environment would look entirely different if it weren’t for civil engineers. What does it take to design, construct, and maintain the natural and physically built environment in a way that is futureproof and sustainable? For example, how can we protect ourselves against rising sea levels? Are there smarter ways to perform maintenance on bridges to lower the risk of failure? And what infrastructure improvements are needed for the wider adoption of electric vehicles?
The Master’s in Civil Engineering & Management at the University of Twente will help you to create solutions to many complex challenges related to construction and infrastructure, sustainability, resilience, water management, and traffic and transport.
This Master’s focuses extensively on both the technical and non-technical aspects of the management, design, realisation, and maintenance of civil engineering projects and systems. After all, while engineering skills are very important, they are not the only determining factor for success.
Many other factors need to be taken into account while managing civil engineering projects: policy, political interests, participation and permits, stakeholders, land expropriation, sustainability, costs, budgeting and price control, logistic efficiency and safety. It is exactly this integrated approach to civil engineering projects that differentiates this Master’s from similar degrees at other universities – and will make you stand out on the job market as well!
You have a lot of freedom to tailor your Master’s in Civil Engineering & Management to your interests and ambitions. You will build your own expertise within one of the five specialisations, which represent different domains of civil engineering. You can choose one of the following specialisations:
