Master of Science in

Civil Engineering

Bruface
Brussels Faculty of Engineering, BRUFACE is a joint initiative of the two universities in the center of Brussels. The Universit Libre de Bruxelles and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel jointly offer an English taught Master of Science program in Civil Engineering.

Objectives
Building on the basic knowledge acquired in an approved Bachelor Program, the Master of Science in Civil Engineering focuses on the design and analysis of advanced structures.

Study in the capital of Europe Brussels

The main objectives of this master program are to develop an in-depth understanding of the main aspects of analysis and design of all kinds of advanced load-bearing constructions, as well as of material technology. Important issues hereby are the optimization of the form of the structure, the selection of the materials and the construction method in terms of mechanical properties, environmental impact, life cycle cost and sustainability. materials (fibre reinforced, cellular, hybrids,...) are hereby considered.

Obviously, this balanced training in both analytical and numerical methods and experimental work is closely linked to scientific research in related fields and will serve as a basis for 'lifelong learning'. In particular, the education shall provide the necessary knowledge and competences to conduct scientific research in a critical and self-reliant manner or as a member of a team. In conclusion, the Master of Science in Civil Engineering provides a profound scientific background to the design and construction of all kinds of advanced load-bearing systems as well as the required competences and attitudes to become a responsible staff member with attention to and the understanding of the role of technology and the engineer in society. Practicing the profession of Civil Engineer involves
