MSc in Civil and Architectural Engineering

Combining Deep Knowledge with Practice

The MSc Program in Civil and Architectural Engineering provides you with insight into advanced theoretical and practical aspects of topics in civil and architectural engineering, as well as the opportunity to specialise in a related field.

The Program is taught by faculty members who are active researchers, so students benefit from a research-intensive environment. You will have the chance to work with researchers and complete a project in collaboration with a private company.

For more information about admission requirements, please visit the university website.

At the start of the study, you must choose between five study lines. A study line is a course package that influences the first three semesters of the Program. Currently, the study lines are:

• Geo-technics and Infrastructure
• Structural Engineering
• Innovative Structures
• Indoor Climate and Energy
• Construction Engineering

In addition to choosing a specific study line, a number of elective courses can be chosen throughout the duration of the Program. In the third semester you must take a 15 ECTS project course focusing on a topic relating to your study line. It is also possible to study abroad at another university during the third semester. The final semester is dedicated to writing your Master’s thesis on a topic of your choice, following consultation with your professors. It is also possible to write your thesis in collaboration with an external company.

Several scholarship options are available. Please visit the university website for more information.

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.
