Department
of Civil Engineering
Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)
The programme is consecutive to a Bachelor’s degree. However, the master's degree programme is also aimed at practising civil engineers who wish to gain further qualifications to take on more challenging roles within the construction industry.
Specialisation in Civil Engineering (IB)
Here, emphasis is placed on in-depth fundamental training. Within this specialisation, the specialisation tracks ‘Structural Engineering’ and ‘Energy, Water and Environment’ are offered, along with a range of other elective subjects. In addition to consolidating the scientific fundamentals, compulsory lectures cover topics such as protection, repair and reinforcement in concrete structures, structural reinforced concrete, specialised civil engineering, methodological and digital skills, hydraulic engineering and flood protection, and transport infrastructure engineering. Compulsory elective modules include lectures on structural dynamics, finite elements, non-linear structural analysis, property and project development, European construction contract and public procurement law, renewable energies, hydropower, the environment and the building materials cycle, and transport engineering and management.
Admission requirements: A B.Eng. degree in Civil Engineering from Germany with a grade of 2.5 or higher. Otherwise, suitability will be assessed through an admissions interview.
Structure and content of the degree programme
- The standard period of study for full-time study is three semesters.
- The degree programme can also be completed on a part-time basis over five semesters.
- The compulsory elective modules (WPF), as well as the projects and the Master’s thesis, can be chosen from across different specialisms.
- Provided that five out of six WPFs in a specialisation area have been successfully completed, the specialisation will be recorded as an additional qualification on the certificate.
