MSc in Civil Engineering
Our research-oriented Master of Science (MSc) programme in Civil Engineering builds upon an undergraduate education and facilitates more advanced study in one of the branches of civil engineering. The programme consists of 120 ECTS and requires the completion of 30 days of approved practical training. All graduate courses are offered in the late afternoon or evening.
The Master of Science (MSc) programme in Civil Engineering is intended to serve graduate students who hold a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related undergraduate degree, to strengthen their knowledge and understanding of civil engineering principles and practices. The programme is primarily designed for students who are currently, or intend to become, practising civil engineers. Thus, it focuses on the application of these principles and practices to real-world problems encountered by professional civil engineers.
An important purpose of the programme is to facilitate applied research on relevant civil engineering topics. Such research should serve societal needs by addressing contemporary issues, contribute to the professional development of both students and faculty, and provide preparation for further academic study and research for students who wish to pursue a PhD. Some reasons why you should choose this programme are outlined below:
