9 PhD programmes in Civil Engineering & Construction in Netherlands

Civil and Environmental Engineering
The world of civil engineering is changing. Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for engineers who have a profound understanding of their own field and can oversee and combine the specialist knowledge from other disciplines. The Civil and Environmental Engineering programme is delivered at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

Smart Buildings and Cities
The Smart Buildings and Cities program from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) wants to contribute to the transition towards smart, intelligent and sustainable cities where quality of life is high.

Built Environment
Built Environment department at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is driven by our ambitions to make a difference. Sustainability, in its broadest definition, is the cornerstone of our research and education. We take the lead in (re)shaping the built environment and making it futureproof, safe, healthy, inclusive and with respect for planetary boundaries.

Civil Engineering
The purpose of the EngD programme in Civil Engineering from University of Twente (UT) is to educate trainees who will be the 'new employees' in the field of civil engineering.
Management in the Built Environment
Management in the Built Environment at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) involves collaboration, innovation and new ways of managing and future-proofing the built environment.
Materials, Mechanics, Management and Design
The Department of Materials, Mechanics, Management and Design (3MD) at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) focuses on design, management, mechanics and materials principles of civil infrastructures and buildings.
Engineering Structures
The Department of Engineering Structures (ES) at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) studies civil engineering structures and infrastructure. The aim is to develop resilient, smart and sustainable (infra) structures, which meet the societal demands in transportation, energy transition and sustainable reuse.
Hydraulic Engineering
Research in Hydraulic Engineering at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) aims at formulating and resolving water-related academic research problems that contribute to the well-being of people living, working and recreating in deltaic areas.
Architectural Engineering and Technology
Bridging the gap between the disciplines of Architecture and Engineering, deploying an engineering and technology-driven approach to the design of buildings. That is the unique profile of Architectural Engineering and Technology at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).
