Civil engineering is all around you. Roads, waterways, bridges and flood defenses are just a few everyday examples. Civil engineers have the knowledge to find sustainable solutions for actual problems such as climate change, sea-level rise, resource depletion, population growth and urbanisation, and ageing of infrastructure. TU Delft is a world leading university in Civil Engineering (2nd in QS ranking) and executes ground breaking research into these challenges. Our research findings and innovations are fed into the educational programme so you are trained to think at a high academic level. This provides you with the necessary scientific and engineering skills to work in multidisciplinary teams of professionals that create responsible solutions to today’s engineering challenges.

The master Civil Engineering is a two year MSc programme. The first part of year one is fixed and identical for all students. This compulsory part consists of the faculty base module, MUDE (12 EC) and the programme base module (9 EC). After this compulsory part, you will choose one of the six master tracks (15 EC), that offer you more specialised knowledge in a particular field.

The second year offers even more flexibility and freedom of choice than the first year, providing possibilities to study abroad, do an internship or a multi- or interdisciplinary project in the Netherlands or abroad, follow an in-depth module and a cross-over module to eventually make a well-informed choice for a research topic for the thesis.

Your career prospects as a graduate of the MSc programme in Civil Engineering are excellent. Opportunities abound in the public sector as well as with engineering consultants, contractors, gouvernmental bodies, international development organisations and research institutes. Civil Engineers from Delft have an outstanding worldwide reputation. They are able to work professionally in complex and unpredictable environments and to assume leading roles in these organisations worldwide.
