About the programme

All courses at the Faculty of Civil Engineering take place in lecture halls and seminar rooms equipped with cutting edge technology. The Laboratory Building, named after August Föppl (mechanic, engineer and university teacher), boasts a diverse array of laboratories with state of the art equipment. High quality testing instruments are used not only in the materials, soil mechanics, and water engineering labs, but also in the experiment hall when courses are in session. Moreover, students work hands on with the latest computer technology and most current software.

Students will be equipped with the skills to think about and act upon the social consequences of their activities, to cooperate with expert colleagues and to work in teams.

They will learn to present the results of their work with conviction and to discuss their ideas with self-confidence. They will develop creativity, decision-making skills, assertiveness and flexibility to act socially responsible and environmentally conscious.

Structural Engineering is a practical oriented technical/academic discipline. The job outline is characterized by various fields of activity, e.g. in construction companies, building authorities and engineering offices as well as in research and teaching in the field of Civil Engineering.

The master's programme is supposed to develop widely educated graduates, who on the one hand can work in all areas of the building industry and on the other hand have state of the art specialist knowledge. After their studies of Structural Engineering students shall be able to work independently, to analyze scientifically sound complex technical, mathematical and science problems, and to be able to understand and solve them.

Students will get the knowledge and abilities to transfer their theoretical knowledge into practice. Graduates of the Master Structural Engineering will be able to lead complex construction and planning projects and to take over leadership roles.
