Block 1
Depending on your educational background or depending on the focus, it is possible that the prerequisites / corequisites for the 1st year of the programme are presented in the block 2. You are therefore invited to read through the list of courses in block 2 even if you are registering for the first time in this master.
As part of the Civil Construction Engineering Masters, students must follow or approve 90 core training credits (including placement and final dissertation) and 30 credits from one of the two specialised courses, i.e. `civil engineering¿ or `urban and environmental engineering¿.
Ideally, students taking the Masters will have acquired the skills and knowledge corresponding to 40 credits for the specific technical classes in the field of construction organised as part of the Civil Engineering Bachelors.
