International Masters in Civil Engineering (ICME)

International Master of Applied Science in Civil Engineering/Laurea Magistrale in Civil Engineering dual degree program

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering provides students with a unique opportunity to study in Italy. This dual-degree program includes the exchange of students who will achieve two degrees from two universities, each of which has established research programs. Windsor and Udine, Italy, share a close bond as Twin Cities; a bond that is further strengthened through this program.

The Windsor-Udine dual degree program offers a post-graduate Masters level, international engineering education that addresses challenges and new strategies in construction, infrastructure, city planning, traffic, and other areas in Civil Engineering. While earning a Master of Applied Science degree from the University of Windsor and a Laurea Magistrale degree from the Udine, students will receive professional training and the practical experience necessary to work in a competitive global environment.

This program is designed to be completed in two years with University of Windsor students beginning in September of each year. Applications are due by March 1st of the year you intend to start. This dual-degree program enriches students' educational experiences. There is a major benefit to having an international outlook on the education of engineers who develop new products for these global markets.
