Location of Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen
International Construction Management is a 2 year programme for students of the ICM partner institutions of Hanze University Groningen.
Building without boundaries
You are creative and have an eye for detail. You are good at calculating, communicating and running things. You like to work according to plan and construction appeals to you. Moreover, you fancy working and studying abroad. In that case the programme International Construction Management (ICM) is sure to be right up your street. ICM trains you to become a construction engineer who is also able to work in an international setting. After your studies, you know all about building materials, techniques, calculations, structures and European building regulations. You speak one or more foreign languages and consult principals, subcontractors, advisors and authorities. You work in an international branch of industry, leaving its mark on our surroundings.
The European unification also takes shape in the construction industry. Large building projects and government enterprises are put out to tender in Europe. And also the free exchange of trade and labour sees to it that real estate developers and construction firms are increasingly active abroad. That is a good thing, but it means that they certainly need to be very well-up in the language, culture and the various building processes and regulations. As an ICM graduate you are able to play an important part here.
Teamwork
The programme International Construction Management is an international variant of General Architecture. Thus you do many subjects together with students attending this course. You have many practicals, and work in small groups on projects where all of the field's aspects crop up integrally. In that way, you not only acquire lots of knowledge in practice, but you also train the skills you need for your future job. In the international programme Architecture, you of course furthermore do languages and familiarize yourself with international business administration. In that way, you can put to service your sound constructional basis when being in charge of and organizing building projects at home and abroad.
Contents
ICM is a two-year programme (3rd and 4th year) resulting in a degree. During term 5 and 6 one studies in the Netherlands, while term 7 is dedicated to a work placement in the Netherlands. There are two varieties of term 8: one may graduate either in Groningen or at one’s home institute. In the latter case, the graduation work is evaluated by lecturers from the home institute as well as from Hanze University Groningen, University of Applied Sciences.
The ICM programme’s main objective is to provide education that enables graduates to work as managers of building and civil engineering projects all over Europe.
The graduate is able to fulfil tasks in all of the construction process’ phases.
The graduate can cooperate and communicate with all the persons involved in the process. The graduate is able to fully appreciate the various differences between construction engineering in his native country and in other countries, particularly in the Netherlands.
