Civil Engineering Master

Planning, Decision-making, Building

It is difficult to imagine our everyday lives without bridges, tunnels, hydroelectric power plants, road and rail networks, or residential, office and industrial buildings. All of these are subject to increasingly higher demands on standards and functionality, because our modern society requires reliable, efficient and safe infrastructure.

Credits ECTS: 120
Language of instruction: German

Structure:

The Master’s degree programme builds upon the knowledge acquired in the Bachelor’s degree programme. Students select two out of six possible subject areas (see box). A large range of electives supplement these, making it possible to either specialise further or to broaden out into a wider area of knowledge. Independent project work and seminar papers reinforce the scientific work, and foster the working methods expected in civil engineering. Topical construction projects or research topics are commonly used as examples.

- Choice of 2 specialisations

- Electives, seminar papers and project work

- Master's thesis (16 weeks)

Specialisations:
