MSc in Civil and Architectural Engineering

At the start of the study, you choose between five study lines:

• Infrastructures and Geotechnical Engineering - Summer intake
• Infrastructures and Geotechnical Engineering - Winter intake
• Structural Engineering - Summer intake
• Structural Engineering - Winter intake
• Innovative Structural Design - Summer intake
• Innovative Structural Design- Winter intake
• Building Science and Technology - Summer intake
• Building Science and Technology - Winter intake
• Construction Management and Engineering - Summer intake
• Construction Management and Engineering - Winter intake

With a Master’s degree in Civil- and architectural engineering, you have the following skills:

• You have general knowledge of architectural engineering and detailed knowledge of key disciplines, methodologies, theories and concepts within Civil- and architectural engineering.
• You can independently plan, manage and implement projects and apply the results in scientifically relevant decision processes.
• You can assess the applicability and appropriateness of theoretical, experimental and practical methodologies for the analysis and solution of scientific questions and issues.
• You can structure your competence development independently and critically.
• You are able to systematically and critically familiarise yourself with new subject areas.
• You can relay and communicate academic questions and issues to both a scientific and a general audience.
• You can collaborate constructively on a scientific basis to solve subject-related issues.

The varied forms of teaching, group collaboration, and close scientific dialogue with researchers, as well as the department’s strong relationship with the industrial sector, give our graduates competencies that are in great demand on the global job market, including abstract, critical and independent thinking, analytical skills, and strategic planning. You can use these skills in many contexts even in jobs you didn’t know you were qualified for. Previous graduates of the MSc in Civil and Architectural Engineering have found jobs with consulting engineering firms, contractors, property developers, architecture firms, or in the building component industry.

Graduates typically work in roles that involve developing and designing advanced building constructions, advanced energy technology solutions and industrialised building components frequently in interdisciplinary collaboration with architects and designers.
