Programme structure

In addition to core courses (31 credits) and a professional focus (30 credits), students will enhance their technical education by selecting courses (a minimum of 29 credits) among the following:

  • Energy
  • Aeronautics
  • Dynamics, robotic and biomechanics
  • Design, manufacturing and mechanics of materials
  • Nuclear engineering

and the module of a multidisciplinary class of your choice.

In the spirit of openness, students can complete their programme through multidisciplinary coursework. This includes an internship, completing a language programme, a choice of general knowledge classes or classes in human sciences. This is possible thanks to the flexibility that characterises this master’s programme in civil and mechanical engineering. Based on their course choices, students will eventually complete one or two majors.

The final thesis is typically completed at the end of the programme (second academic year). However, based on their individual study plan, students may schedule their courses in either the first or second academic year, provided the course prerequisites are met. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for students who spend part of their studies outside UCLouvain as part of an exchange programme.

The final programme will be subject to approval by the master"s programme committee.

 


For a programme-type, and regardless of the focus, options/or elective courses selected, this master will carry a minimum of 120 credits divided over two annual units, corresponding to 60 credits each.
