Civil Engineering
Choose a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering? Help build tomorrow’s world! Design new solutions to the major societal issues we face in civil engineering. Contribute to solutions that cope with extreme drought, climate change, flooding and sustainability for ports, rivers, quays, roads, railways, locks, bridges and much more. Become a creative civil engineering professional and make a difference.
During the Civil Engineering programme, you will learn everything about land, road and waterway construction. To look at the construction and renovation of civil engineering works for the future from a sustainable perspective. The design and construction of dykes, traffic junctions, ports and wind farms. Constructing bridges, multi-storey car parks and tunnels. During your studies, you can specialise in hydraulic engineering, water management, structural design and traffic and roads. In doing so, you will have a lot of contact with the professional field.
The Civil Engineering programme focuses on 'Building tomorrow'. We focus on training young professionals who can contribute to solutions for major social issues involving civil engineering. Our profile and emphasis is on technology, which distinguishes us from related courses such as spatial planning, traffic engineering/mobility and urban design. We are in line with future-oriented education, with room for learning in practice, freedom of choice, interdisciplinarity and a holistic approach. Study coaching is an important part of this to encourage students to make conscious choices within and outside the programme.
The Civil Engineering programme consists of five building blocks:
- Technology. The Technology Line provides the technical foundation for engineers from the Architecture and Construction Engineering and Civil Engineering programmes. Where possible, these modules are offered together. Learn how constructions work and how to calculate them, as well as skills to think abstractly and analytically.
- Discipline specific. In the discipline-specific line, you will learn everything needed to provide the technical foundation for civil engineers. You will gain knowledge, insight and skills relating to civil engineering works of the past, present and the future. Learn how to draw and design technically – from new construction and renovation to management and maintenance of civil engineering works.
- Projects. You will apply all the knowledge you have gained in practical projects, where you learn all about project requirements and processes. You will work in groups on the energy transition, climate adaptation, circular construction and civil challenges in earthworks, roads and water. Learn from each other and build tomorrow through research and design!
- Electives and specialisation. You will put together your own personal learning path, best suited to your preferences and talents. After term 1 in year 1, you choose between Architecture and Construction Engineering and Civil Engineering. Give your programme a personal touch in year 2 by choosing different elective and specialisation modules. Choose a suitable internship and minor and complete your studies with a graduation project.
- Study Coaching. Discover the programme and get supervision from your study coach. We coach you throughout your studies and your growth into a civil engineering professional. Your personal development comes first!

Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų:
- turėti anglų kalbos pažymį Brandos atestate ir išlaikyti Anglų kalbos valstybinį egzaminą (egzamino rezultatas nėra svarbus, svarbiausia, kad jį išlaikytum)*
arba
- išlaikyti IELTS arba TOEFL testą.
*Jeigu nori pasitikrinti ar tavo anglų kalbos žinios yra pakankamos studijuoti Nyderlandų aukštosiose – suteikiame galimybę laikyti Oxford anglų kalbos testą. Nors anglų kalbos testas nėra reikalaujamas, patartina žinoti savo galimybes ir kalbos lygį.
A high school degree including Mathematics & Physics.
As a civil engineer, you can be widely deployed in civil and infrastructure engineering. You are aware of new techniques such as innovative construction methods, materials and project approaches. Here's to a great career!
Professions for Civil Engineers:
- Designer. You can work for an engineering firm or in the design department of a contractor and be involved in the design of civil structures, such as roads, waterways, bridges and viaducts. You draw and when needed make the necessary calculations. You also ensure that the construction has the correct dimensions and meets all requirements and standards. Finally, you maintain contact with the customer and surroundings about the design.
- Structural engineer. You calculate and design load-bearing structures for bridges, viaducts and tunnels. The structures must be safe, stable, sufficiently strong and sufficiently rigid. You calculate the thickness of the concrete and choose the right steel profiles. A structural engineer works for an engineering firm or the structural engineering department of a (large) contractor. You can also work as a structural engineer for a local authority.
- Work planner. You work for a contractor and prepare the work from the office or construction site. For example, you schedule the work, order materials on time or make a drawing of the layout of the construction site. The work planner is in close contact with the people on-site, such as the site managers and surveyors, as well as with the project manager.
- Site manager. As site manager, you work for a contractor and are the immediate supervisor on the construction site. You manage all employees and subcontractors on the construction site and call in materials. You also ensure that all construction work is carried out according to schedule. You are always present on the construction site and therefore have your own on-site office.
- Project manager. You work for a contractor and are in complete charge of a civil engineering construction project. You manage all work planners and site managers. In addition, you consult with the client about the progress of the work and you are responsible for costs and planning. Internally, you are accountable to the management of the contracting company for all aspects of the project.
