Civil Engineering & Management

Sustainable housing, dike improvements, the railway network and the Delta works are all technically feasible civil engineering projects. However, technology isn’t the only factor that determines the result. Many other factors need to be taken into account, such as sustainability and circularity, policy, land expropriation, environmental impact studies, budgeting and price control, logistic efficiency, and safety. The job market requires engineers who are true process thinkers, and can oversee, analyse and predict all aspects of the design and execution of civil engineering projects. This Master’s will train you to be just such an engineer within the fields of construction management, water management, transport management, sustainability and resilience and/or hydraulic and geo-structures. It’s the first Master’s in the Netherlands that focuses on both the technical and non-technical aspects of the planning, design, realisation, and maintenance of civil engineering projects and systems.

Founded in 1961, the University of Twente is the only campus university in the Netherlands, offering an American-style campus experience. Known as the "entrepreneurial university" with over 1,000 spinoff companies, it specializes in technology and engineering with a strong focus on innovation and societal impact.
