Civil Engineering - University of Twente

In the bachelor’s programme Civil Engineering you will acquire both the technical and non-technical knowledge you need to take on complex civil engineering challenges. You will learn everything a civil engineer needs to know in order to design, construct and manage large projects in construction & infrastructure, water management, and traffic & transport. You will also become an expert in the many important organizational and non-technical issues involved in such projects, from legal and administrative aspects to communication, project and process management.

Why to choose civil engineering
- Become an expert in both technical and non-technical aspects iof large projects
- Gain knowledge and skills that are in high demand on the job market
- Study at the best Civil Engineering programme in the Netherlands and one of the best in the world
- Get ready for an international career

The programme:
Its blend of disciplines makes this Bachelor’s programme a challenging programme that will prepare you to be an all-round civil engineer. As in any Civil Engineering programme, you will, of course, learn things like how to calculate and build a bridge. But here you will also learn to map out the consequences of a project like that for people, companies or nature in the area.
You will get familiar with innovative construction or water management techniques, while also learning to identify circular and resilient solutions. You will spend three years immersing yourself in mathematics, physics, mechanics, fluid dynamics and design subjects, but also in process management, communications and aspects such as environmental effects and management.
As a civil engineer from Twente, it is highly likely that your career will not just revolve around construction and technology, but that you will have a more interdisciplinary role, for example, as a project leader, as a manager or in Research & Development.
