The Executive Master in Digital Twins for Infrastructures and Cities is a blended, professional degree co-funded by the EU that trains engineers and built-environment specialists to lead digital transformation in civil engineering and urban systems. It combines online live classes, three in-person workshop events in Madrid, Paris and Budapest, and real capstone projects mentored by industry partners. Participants gain practical skills in digital technologies, such as BIM, IoT, data analytics, and AI, to plan, design, implement and manage digital twins for complex infrastructures. Graduates receive a joint diploma from top European universities and benefit from networking with international experts.
Admission requires availability for online classes and international workshops, a relevant STEM bachelor’s degree, and English proficiency at min. B2 level. Applicants must hold a 240ECTS BSc in engineering or architecture, or a 180ECTS degree with at least two years of professional experience in built env. Basic programming skills are expected. The process includes preselection based on documents and a short motivation video, followed by final admission after fee payment and a reference letter.
You can study at BME with a scholarship or as a self-funded student, by paying tuition fees. Various scholarships help you cover tuition fees and your living expenses during your studies. Successful PhD students may receive additional support from research grants.
The curriculum is delivered in two semesters. The first focuses on digital skills for Digital Twins, including BIM, GIS, programming, data science and AI. The second emphasizes applied Digital Twins, management, sectoral applications, onsite workshops, conferences, and a team-based capstone project.
