Gidewon Tekeste, Eritrea, IST-ID/LNEC, Portugal - MSc. in Civil Engineering

“My goal as a master student of Civil Engineering at IST was to equip myself with practical knowledge and hone my soft skills.  That was exactly what I got, a faculty replete with excellent, friendly, and supportive people. That vigour was an inspiration for me.”

Katherine Cozer von Staa, Brazil, ARC ingeniería, Spain - MSc. in Civil Engineering

“Técnico goes beyond a university where you acquire knowledge: it makes you go beyond what you thought was your limit; makes you learn to harmonize life in all aspects; makes you see that you are more capable than you think. Técnico prepares you to become a great professional!”

Kai-Julian Hendler, South Africa/German, Boley Geotechnik GmbH, German - MSc. in Civil Engineering

“It was overall a great time in which I learnt a lot. I also feel like I got prepared well for the challenges that I have faced since starting working in the civil engineering industry.”

“To me, the MEP offers approachable and cooperative teaching staff and the opportunity to tailor your path according to your interests. I gained both the skills and technical rigor but also the confidence to thoughtfully use and embrace an international life. It’s a fantastic programme that truly changed my career for the better.”

João Jorge - Geomodeller, TotalEnergies

“This MSc offers a pivotal opportunity for geoscientists to strengthen their career path. Being one of a kind, integrating the components of geostatistics and subsurface modelling. Combining technical specialization with an industry approach prepares you for the future challenges in achieving sustainable energy.”

Catarina Barreira - Boliden, Ireland

This Master's degree gave me the opportunity of specializing in my fields of interest and cement good knowledge and skills that I used to pave the road to become the senior planning engineer I am today.”

Ana Louro - Boliden, Ireland

One of the best things in this program was the practical component (frequent field trips and the possibility of doing my thesis in an industry setting) that gave me a very good basis for the start of my career. The teachers were always very supportive and made me believe I could achieve anything I wanted in my professional life.

Jasmien Kinnaer - KULeuven, Belgium

For me, the mobility exchange is a chance to learn about other visions and methods for solving architectural problems. The teachers at IST have a more personal approach of teaching here, they are all very kind and want to teach every student as much as possible.”
