Master of Science in Civil Engineering
The Civil Engineering programme focuses on the study and design of buildings and structures (roads, bridges, hydraulic structures, industrial buildings and high-rises), and aims at the education of civil engineers who can perform at a high level in an international industrial and social context.
EUR-ACE® Master (EURopean ACcredited Engineering Master)
The EUR-ACE label was accredited to this programme by the Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI), under the auspices of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).
EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.
Open Days
Each spring the graduation fair EVOLV. organised by the UGent Association, offers the opportunity to discover all possible options to continue studying or to start looking for a job (with more than 200 different companies).
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If so, it will be announced here (at the latest Feb 15th).15th).

Admission for Students holding a Non-Flemish Degree
Students who wish to enrol for the Master of Science in Civil Engineering can enter the programme without any prerequisites if they hold the following degree: an academic diploma of Bachelor (or Master) of Science in Engineering (university level, minimum three years), with the main subject in Civil Engineering or an equivalent to this.
Admission can only be granted after an individual application procedure. The Study Programme Committee will make the final decision whether to accept the application or not. The Study Programme Committee can decide that students need to follow a preparatory course or an individual master’s programme, for instance for students who hold another diploma of Bachelor or Master.
Important: Students who wish to enrol must add the result of a GRE test to their application, more specifically the result of the Quantitative Reasoning of the General Test. The GRE test result will be assessed using the faculty’s grading scale.

Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a successful study career.
An international experience
Going abroad with Erasmus is wide-spread and well-known. But getting an international experience is possible in many different ways.
