Key Summary
Introduction
At the start of the study, you choose between five study lines. The choice of study line is a choice of a course package that influences the first three semesters. Currently, the study lines are
- Infrastructures and Geotechnical Engineering
- Structural Engineering
- Innovative Structural Design
- Building Science and Technology
- Construction Management and Engineering
Apart from the courses that belong to the study lines, several elective courses can be chosen. In the third semester, a 15 ECTS project course was taken on a topic relating to the study line. Also, in the third semester, many students choose to study abroad at another university. The final semester is the master thesis semester, where you choose the topic. The master thesis work may be in cooperation with an external company.
The program is taught by faculty members who are active researchers, so students benefit from a research-intensive environment and have the opportunity to work with researchers, as well as the chance to complete a project in collaboration with a private company.
Research at the Department

Career Opportunities
The varied forms of teaching, group collaboration, and close scientific dialogue with researchers, as well as the department’s strong relationship with the industrial sector, give our graduates competencies that are in great demand on the global job market, including abstract, critical and independent thinking, analytical skills, and strategic planning. You can use these skills in many contexts even in jobs you didn’t know you were qualified for. Previous graduates of the MSc in Civil and Architectural Engineering have found jobs with consulting engineering firms, contractors, property developers, architecture firms, or in the building component industry.
Graduates typically work in roles that involve developing and designing advanced building constructions, advanced energy technology solutions and industrialised building components frequently in interdisciplinary collaboration with architects and designers.
