6 Construction Degree Programs in Austria

Efficient, progressive, social, and sustainable – the demands of future-proof cities are high. Our Master's degree in Smart Buildings in Smart Cities deals with the contribution that smart buildings can make to these kinds of modern cities. A special focus is placed on the interaction between technology and energy with nature, humans, and the environment. At Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, you will be trained as a networked engineer and will develop promising solutions for complex problems in building and city planning.

The Master's degree program in Civil Engineering in Building Construction enables a complete university education in the field of civil engineering with a focus on building construction. In addition to extensive, in-depth training in building construction, students are offered elective subjects (two elective subject groups).

Civil engineers are experts in buildings - from planning to construction, from renovation to demolition. They plan, construct, monitor, they take on managerial and coordinating roles within construction teams and they learn to evaluate their designs and constructions mathematically using the latest technologies - both in the areas of safety and functionality as well as in terms of costs. With the help of building physics knowledge and knowledge in the field of building technology and building automation, civil engineers optimize new and existing building structures.

More efficient automobiles and airplanes and their resource-saving production are essential in view of climate change and rising energy costs. Rotor blades of wind turbines and various sports equipment, such as tennis rackets, skis or Formula 1 cars, must also become lighter and at the same time meet the highest safety regulations. Lightweight construction is one of the key issues in industry.

Students learn the perfect combination of technical knowledge and economic and legal expertise to successfully implement plant construction projects as a project manager. It trains students to manage comprehensive projects and monitor cost management, schedules, performance guarantees and the coordination of various specialist departments and subcontractors.

Our Master of Science in Sustainable Development, Management and Policy challenges you to consider a wide spectrum of sustainability issues and their often complex interrelationships. The program provides training for a new generation of professionals who will confidently respond to future global sustainability challenges. With a case study-focused approach, students will learn how to link research to real-world phenomena. You will learn to analyze and assess sustainability-related case studies and to suggest solutions for pressing societal problems like climate change.
