About HTS Bouwkunde Rotterdam

The Bouwkunde (Architecture and Construction Engineering) program at Hogeschool Rotterdam is designed for students interested in the design and construction of buildings. Graduates are prepared for diverse roles as building engineers, capable of working as architects, contractors, or policy officers. The curriculum spans various phases of a construction project, from initial planning and design to governmental regulations and implementation. The first year provides a broad theoretical foundation, including architecture history, building technology, materials, structural engineering, design, and CAD drawing, often delivered through integrated themes and projects. In the subsequent three-year main phase, students select specializations, with coursework focusing on their chosen area. The program integrates practical experience through internships and culminates in a graduation assignment, equipping students for careers in architectural firms, engineering consultancies, contracting companies, or government agencies.
