Specialization - Civil Engineering
The MSc Eng programme in Civil Engineering spans two years with a total workload of 120 ECTS points.
Specializations
The MSc programme in Civil Engineering offers a wide range of courses, covering a broad spectrum of sub-disciplines. Students have the freedom – and are highly encouraged to design their education in a manner that best reflects their interests and professional goals (while considering the individual course prerequisites).
At the same time, the programme offers several specialisations, which are merely one optional way to choose courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specific specialisation, but to the Civil Engineering programme. When specialisation requirements are fulfilled, the specialisation title may be added to the diploma.
The MSc programme in Civil Engineering offers the following seven specialisations (alphabetically ordered):
(1) Bridges, pavements, and large Structures
(2) Building Systems
(3) Cold Regions (Arctic Semester)
(4) Geotechnics
(7) Structures
To fulfil the requirements of a specialisation, all associated programme-specific courses should be taken according to the provided list. Moreover, the thesis work should be related to the specialisation topic. This latter requirement mandates pre-approval from the Head of Studies based on a statement by the main thesis supervisor that the thesis content is linked to the requested specialisation topic.
