MSc Civil Engineering – Bauingenieurwesen

During the study programme MSc in Civil Engineering – Bauingenieurwesen, you will deepen the skills you have learned so far in the field of civil engineering from a perspective of natural and engineering science. The ability to recognise and solve technical problems and tasks in their complexity determines your studies as much as the development of new types of solutions. In your studies, you will develop the ability for interdisciplinary and international cooperation beyond professional, administrative and political boundaries as well as the ability to weigh different solutions, explain them objectively and understandably, to make decisions and justify them. Thus, this degree opens up diverse and excellent opportunities in the international professional world or can be the basis for a doctorate and a research career. Within the programme, you can choose from the following research subjects: Construction and maintenance of transport facilities Construction technologies and management Building construction and building physics Structural mechanics Geotechnics Water management Glass and façade technology Real estate valuation Solid construction Numerical methods and computer science in civil engineering Planning, design and operation of transport systems Sanitary water management Steel construction Structural analysis Structural monitoring and dynamics Environmental, spatial and infrastructure planning Water engineering Materials technology and building maintenance Benefit from the internationality of the programme, which multiplies your opportunities on the international market and offers students from abroad a perfect entry into the German labour market. The Master of Science in Civil Engineering – Bauingenieurwesen is a two-year / four-semester programme. To obtain the degree, you need to earn a total of 120 credit points. The programme is bilingual, while the basic courses for the first two semesters are taught predominantly in English. The MSc Civil Engineering – Bauingenieurwesen is a study programme that allows students to design their study plan according to their wishes. To arrange your studies flexibly and individually, you can take a variety of options. Three research subjects are chosen, one of them as the research specialisation subject. The elective area's modules (42 CP) can be freely chosen and pursued in an interdisciplinary manner. You can use them for subject-related in-depth study or expansion of the range of topics. In the fourth semester, you chose the topic of your Master's thesis according to your own interests. The design of your individual study plan is done in consultation with and advised by your assigned mentor.
