Hasselt University has always focused on a student-centered approach in all its strategic and tactical choices to maximize learning outcomes: from a strictly guided learning approach at the outset of a BSc program to extremely flexible autonomous learning at the end of a MSc degree. Core to this approach is the straightforward interaction between students and teachers with an emphasis on the students’ learning process (more than on the knowledge itself). Pedagogic and didactic choices are made in an effort to support this process, in the end to prepare for lifelong learning

Each specialization offered in the MSc programmes mirrors a research domain of the school. We truly believe that solid academic research is the foundation of good academic education. Solid academic research at Hasselt University is of international peer-reviewed quality and fits the business context of the region. As such, Hasselt University aims to be a civic university. Both BSc and Msc students get in touch with topical academic research and develop research skills through specific courses such and by writing a bachelor and master thesis.

Students of industrial engineering must have sufficient knowledge and skills to come to the independent use of the most important mathematical, physical and chemical concepts in technology and learn to acquire "problem-solving" thinking in projects and courses. He/she must be able to perform and acquire new information and able to report about it. Also acquiring economic insight, working in teams and act as a representative are competences which are acquired during the education.

The bachelor/master civil engineering program at UHasselt is a broadband program aiming at educating multidisciplinary civil engineering experts able to operate as well in construction companies as in design offices in different fields of application, from buildings to infrastructures, covering design and execution aspects, with a focus on durability, quality and economical aspects. The program relies on a strong link with the practice (external lecturers, internships, collaboration on master thesis).

http://www.uhasselt.be/en

The civil engineering research activities at UHasselt follows two main headlines. The first one investigates the behaviour of structural components based on concrete or other quasi-brittle materials (e.g. masonry, pre-stressed concrete or non-conventional hybrid structural solutions). It includes combined numerical and experimental research, with a strong view on standardization aspects. The second research line deals with road design and covers the interaction between road construction aspects and driving behaviour.

Stuctural Engineering

The bachelor program relies on a common basis with other engineering specialties (90 ECTS are common). It is then progressively oriented towards Civil Engineering, in order to give the students a general background on civil engineering. It also includes a first introduction to research and innovation through the realisation of a project in one of the main research fields of the University (mainly construction materials, structural engineering and road design).

The master program enlarges the competences of the students in various fields of civil engineering without specific focus (it remains a non-specialized education program). A strong research and project component is included (more than 50% of the credits) and the students have the possibility to select a limited amount of optional courses, mainly in one or more of the research and consultancy specialty of the University (i.e. structural engineering and road design, with courses like advanced modelling, innovations in concrete, advanced transporation planning...).
