Master Construction Management and Engineering - University of Twente

The programme
Cutting-edge technology is used to dissect and understand processes which integrate governance issues, societal trends and management methodologies. Key areas of study in the University of Twente’s CME programme include sustainable building, public-private governance, industrialization, and digitalization in engineering and construction, supply chain management and risk management. This broad programme has been developed in close association with the construction industry and is not only project-based but also geared to process and design.
CME is a 4TU programme, (4 technical universities programme) which, in this case, means that if you sign up for this Master's programme, you are able to take courses at the other 3 high tech universities in the Netherlands: Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology and Wageningen University. At the University of Twente, the Master’s programme in CME focuses on the management of the design and construction process in the building industry. You will gain thorough knowledge of both the engineering and organizational aspects of this intricate process. This combination is essential to mastering current practices in complex, innovative and multidisciplinary projects in dynamic environments.
The UT-approach centres on the market environment and the organization and management of the various stages of the building process. Keywords at the UT include: cooperation through the entire lifecycle, helicopter view, stakeholder approach and engaged scholarship. The emphasis is on designing, managing and organizing the design and construction process.
