The MSc programme CME consists of three blocks: a general block (orange in the diagram), a specialization block (pale orange) and a final project (dark grey). The general block provides an introduction to the four cornerstones of this field: project management, process management, legal and governance aspects, and collaborative design and engineering. It concludes with an integration course: a project organized in close cooperation with the construction industry, in which students from all three universities work together to apply their knowledge and skills from the cornerstone courses on a real-life case. The general block also touches on various specializations to be chosen in the second part of the programme.

The specialization block allows students to narrow their focus to one of the key areas of expertise offered by the three universities: the living building concept; complex construction assignments in relation to urban  site development; market dynamics, planning & development; and design processes & engineering. 

The last part of the MSc programme is the final project (thesis), in which students gain individual hands-on experience in the analysis of complex construction techniques and the exploration of models for integrated solutions. As before, this project is problem-oriented, but takes the form of an in-depth research and design assignment.
