Below you can find the modules open to Exchange students. In case a module of Civil Engineering is not mentioned below, it means it's not open to Exchange students.
These modules are well-balanced, structured sets of courses created around a theme and need to be taken as a whole. You cannot dropp courses within a module. Even if you've already taken a certain course at your home uni, you need to retake it here if it's part of the module. So choose wisely. Request of dropping a course will not be considered.
The modules consist of 15 ECTS per quartile. Please therefore select one module per quartile.
Additionally, in case you are nominated to a study program related to ET faculty:
- you are allowed to also take modules from other study programmes within the ET faculty
- you are allowed to take one module from another faculty, if desired.Semester 1 or 'Fall semester':

The MSc programme in Civil Engineering offers several specialisations within its curriculum. You can explore them here.
Courses not open to Exchange students:
-Academic Research and Skills
-Preparation Msc Thesis
-Msc ThesisPlease note that the curriculum shown is for the current year, and course offerings may change in the upcoming semester. As long as the current year's curriculum is displayed, we cannot guarantee the availability of specific courses for next academic year.
Be aware that the schedules within each specialisation are coordinated. We cannot ensure schedule compatibility if you choose courses from different specialisations.

Master-Insert courses:
Next to our regular programme, the UT offers so-called Master-Insert courses: Shaping Responsible Futures programmes.
You'll learn to transcend disciplinary boundaries. You'll connect science to society by collaborating with real-world stakeholders. And, you'll build confidence as a responsible change-maker.
(You'll need an additional registration for these courses. Once approved by the Exchange Coordinator on your Learning Agreement, you can register for these courses through the Master-Insert link).
