The Master’s in Construction Management & Engineering is a full-time study programme that consists of two years, in which you will collect a total of 120 EC. In your first year and the first quartile of the second year, you will follow (elective) courses and you will end your Master’s by writing your master’s thesis.
Content of your Master's
What your curriculum will look like depends on the choices you make in composing your Master’s. There is a set of courses from which you have to pick 10 specialisation courses. Whether you want to focus more on the management or the engineering part of your specialisation, or maybe even a specific theme: there will always be courses that suit your interests. These courses allow you to go in a specific direction and specialise even further.
Elective courses
Within this Master’s, there is a lot to choose even beyond your specialisation. You have a great deal of freedom in choosing elective courses outside your specialisation, as long as you comply with the assumed previous knowledge. You can choose courses offered at UT (of the Master’s in Civil Engineering & Management or the Master’s in Industrial Design Engineering, for example), but moreover, you can follow courses at Eindhoven University of Technology or Delft University of Technology.
Master’s thesis
You will end your Master’s in Construction Management & Engineering with your master’s thesis. The choice of your graduation subject is largely up to you – and the courses you’ve chosen. You could, for example, focus on sustainability and circularity, urban planning and governance, digitisation, procurement strategies, simulations using BIM, international collaboration, or risk management, to name just a few of the many available topics within this Master’s.
Most students complete their graduation project at an external organisation, either in the Netherlands or abroad. This is a highly recommended option since it is a great opportunity to combine your academic skills with experience in the professional field.
