Are you eager to meet growing international demand for professionals combining expertise in both the technical and non-technical aspects of civil engineering projects and systems?
Then Civil Engineering and Management is the Master's programme for you. It is a logical next step if you have a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering Management, Advanced Technology or Mechanical Engineering.
The two-year Master’s programme in Civil Engineering and Management is an internationally oriented programme and is taught entirely in English. You can start in September and February. Our pre-Master's programme starts in September. Students with an international bachelor degree can only apply directly to the master programme and do not have the possibility to participate in a pre-Master's programme.

We also offer a Bachelor's programme (BSc.) in Civil Engineering and a Master's programme in Construction Management and Engineering. Construction Management and Engineering is the ideal choice for you if you are particularly interested in the management side of major construction projects. In this 4TU programme you can also take courses at one of the other technical universities in The Netherlands.
Programme overview
the Civil Engineering and Management programme in short
The Civil Engineering and Management (CEM) Master’s is the premier programme in the Netherlands for students eager to focus extensively on both the technical and non-technical aspects of planning, design, realization, and maintenance of civil engineering projects and systems.
High-speed rail, the Betuwe freight railway, dyke improvements and the ‘Manhattan on the Meuse’ development project in Rotterdam are all technically feasible projects. Technology, however, is not the only determining factor for successful results. Many other factors need to be taken into account early in the planning phase of real estate and infrastructure projects: policy, political interests, participation and permits, land expropriation, environmental impact studies, costs, budgeting and price control, logistic efficiency and safety. All of these factors are addressed in the CEM programme.
