Civil Engineering Saxion University of Applied Sciences

Overview

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.

Climate change

Climate change and climate adaptation are causing major challenges in civil engineering. As a creative civil engineer, you can adapt existing and new designs to create a sustainable human environment. A good example of this is our very own sustainable climate square at our main building in Enschede, co-designed by our own civil engineering students.

Digitalisation

The study programme combines skills with software such as Autodesk Civil 3D and Civil Engineering. Current challenges require digitalised processes including design, drawing and calculating. The programme also focuses on Digital Twin; where physical and virtual worlds combine to create innovation in civil engineering.

During your Civil Engineering study

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.
