Programme Description

Building engineers have a high degree of responsibility in finding the right balance between science, technology and design. It also includes economic, political and environmental aspects.

A key characteristic of the program is interdisciplinarity. Based on your own discipline,you will learn to understand problems of other disciplines. This will be important in your future career, because the design process is becoming more complex and the number of specialists involved is growing. Through project learning, you will develop a design-oriented approach based on independent analytical ability, synthetic skills and the many opportunities offered by information technology. Also essentials as communication skills, presentation techniques, a scientific approach and a fair share of creativity is required in the design process. You can choose to graduate in the specialization that best matches your abilities and interests. Whatever your preferences, this program offers you a wide range of opportunities to choose from since students themselves define the focus of their programs. To support students in choosing a suitable program a portfolio approach is part of the program involving regular discussions with one of the tutors involved in the Masters program.
