This Master's is the first programme in the Netherlands to focus extensively on both the technical and non-technical aspects of the planning, design, realisation, and maintenance of civil engineering projects and systems. High-speed rail, the Betuwe freight railway, dike improvements, and the ‘Manhattan on the Maas’ development project in Rotterdam are all technically feasible projects. Technology, however, is not the only determining factor in the result. Many other factors need to be taken into account early in the planning phase of such projects: policy, political interests, participation and permits, land expropriation, environmental impact studies, costs, budgeting and price control, logistic efficiency, and safety. The job market requires engineers who are true process thinkers, and who can oversee, analyse and predict all aspects of the design and execution of civil engineering projects. This Master’s will train you to be just such an engineer.
