Introduction

The built environment is where most of us spend our lives, and related industries constitute an enormous part of the global economy. In this master’s program, you will investigate issues related to manmade structures and buildings, working towards creating a more sustainable and resource-efficient society.

A skilled engineer in modelling, analyzing, and designing structural systems and complex buildings needs to have a deep and intuitive understanding of their physical and mechanical properties. Alongside these fundamental skills, success in this industry also requires the ability to cooperate with others, take charge of diverse projects and communicate effectively in international environments. This master’s program will give you these very tools, allowing you to meet the demands of this fast-paced, challenging, and changing industry.

You will contribute to the creation of a more sustainable and resource-efficient society by working with the construction, operation, and maintenance of all manner of buildings, bridges, and other civil engineering structures — both new and preexisting.

The program is strongly influenced by the current research ongoing at the Chalmers University of Technology. Several research groups involved in the program have close contact with prominent actors in the construction industry, and the program has been developed in cooperation with representatives from leading Swedish companies. Practising engineers from these companies contribute to the program as guest lecturers and supervisors for projects, and every year, a significant number of master’s projects are carried out in direct contact with the companies, closely connected to developments in the industry.

Courses included in the program cover topics such as conceptual design, structural systems, instability phenomena, and dynamics. Other subjects include climate protection, human comfort, thermal performance, durability, sustainable life cycle analysis, and much more.
