Programme objectives
The master's course in civil engineering is a practical course with two fields of concentration: constructive engineering as well as geotechnical and traffic engineering.
The focus of the concentration on constructive engineering lies in the design, construction and calculation of supporting structures in building construction and bridge construction. The knowledge obtained during the bachelor's course is reinforced and extended. Expertise from specialist knowledge in steel, solid, timber and civil engineering and on modern calculation techniques and methods are extensively communicated.
The fields of concentration in civil and traffic engineering prepare the students for current and future demands in geotechnics, in transportation and bridge engineering as well as in environmental geology. These sometimes involve complicated substrate conditions or requirements in terms of environmental protection, area recycling, modern disposal engineering and flood prevention. The planning and construction of transport routes is another key area of this field of concentration.
