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 Master of Science (MSc) in Civil Engineering, students must complete or have validated 90 common course credits (including the internship and final piece of work) and 30 credits in the specialised focus.
Ideally, students taking the Master¿s programme will have acquired the skills and knowledge corresponding to 40 credits of technical courses specific to the field of construction organised as part of their Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Engineering programme.
