Civil Engineering is a branch of Engineering that deals with the design and construction of the artefacts of civil use: civil and industrial constructions, transportation infrastructure, bridges and tunnels, hidro-technical utilities such as dams, aqueducts and sewage systems, structures in seismical areas and others. The prerequisites for studying civil engineering include mathematics, physics, project management and design among others. The students can specialize in a variety of sub-topics like: Construction Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Water Resource Engineering, Earthquake Engineering Costal Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Materials Engineering or Urban Engineering.
Architecture is both the science and the art of designing and erecting buildings and building complexes according to certain proportions and rules dependent on the function, character and designation of the building. The science is relevant through the technical and functional resolution of an architectural project while the art is the special component of creating nonfigurative plastic images of abstract essence. Architecture is the most comprehensive form or spatial organization that aims at fulfilling the complex functions in a balanced, harmonious and esthetical manner.
For the realization of a building/construction/edifice both architects and civil engineers work together usually on well-defined projects starting with the design phase, then costs and resources estimation and finally implementation, which includes detailed structural calculations.
The Master's Degree in Collective Housing, MCH, is a postgraduate professional program of advanced architecture presented by Universidad Politécnica of Madrid and rated as one of the best housing programs by architects and experts.
Offshore Engineers make structures such as fixed and floating platforms for the oil and gas industry, undersea pipelines and other underwater equipment for this sector. Offshore Engineers are the people who design facilities for the 70% of the earth’s surface area that is not land.
The Master of Human Settlements addresses rapid urbanisation in the developing world and contemporary urban transformations within the scope of sustainable development.
This Master’s aims to develop expertise on spatial management and sustainable development on regional and local levels (cities, rural areas, industrial districts, etc.) as well as to support policies that integrate economic, environmental, international, intercultural, territorial and context-driven dimensions.
The Master of Science programme offered by the I School of Architecture is rooted in a polytechnic tradition, bridging urban design, regional studies and social sciences. The programme aims at developing a wide education in planning and policy making. The courses are given at the Campus Leonardo.
The Faculty of Architecture at TU Delft offers a dynamic Master’s programme very much informed by the unique circumstances of the Netherlands, where the high population density has strongly influenced thinking about how to work creatively with space.
This programme is a response to the growing demand from the construction and property industry for flexible professionals capable of strategic thinking and a creative response to volatile economic conditions. Planning and controlling the allocation of resources, and the detailed matching of design and production to the needs of the market for built space, are at the core of the construction and property industries.
This programme offers graduates and built environment professionals an opportunity to update their technical knowledge and enhance their skills to reflect the demands of the construction industry. Through the programme, students can participate in professional development and achieve career progression in what is a challenging and growing discipline.
The main objectives of this master program are to develop an in-depth understanding of the main aspects of analysis and design of all kinds of advanced load-bearing constructions, as well as of material technology.
The study of art history should start from original works of art. Where better, then, to study the history of Netherlandish art than in the Netherlands? This comprehensive, one-year Master’s specialisation is unique in the Dutch academic world, exploring the history of the visual arts and architecture of the Netherlands from the Late Middle Ages to the present.
The Masters Course "Urban Agglomerations" (M.Sc.) offers an international and interdisciplinary formation in sustainable planning, development, management and operation of city-regions and large agglomerations. The Masters Programme has a strong international orientation. It is implemented by the Fachhochschule Frankfurt am Main - University of Applied Sciences, Germany, in cooperation with renowned international partner universities for an international exchange course in the third semester. "Urban Agglomerations" is a 2-years full-time course. Alternatively, the first year can also be studied part-time over a period of two years, summing up to a total study time of three years. The course is completely taught in English. "Urban Agglomerations" leads to the international academic degree of a "Master of Science" (M.Sc.)
In Milan the programme focuses on design at different levels, from architecture in the city, to landscape and the environment, in a sustainability context and that of a conscious relationship with history.
