Exchange Programme

Construction

You feel at home at a construction site

Does brainstorming with a construction team and applying practical innovations sound like fun to you? Are you interested in leading a team of employees, construction workers and subcontractors at an engineering office? Then you've come to the right place!

Our Construction programme is the springboard for challenging jobs, from design to management.

We’re not just focusing on theory. From day one, we link knowledge and skills to practical assignments for you to work on with a team of your fellow students. In no time, you’ll find yourself working at a real construction site.
