7 Building Technology Master's Degree Programs

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 building sector has a major impact on the climate and our environment. In this Master’s programme, you will learn about how to create resource and energy-efficient buildings with good indoor environments. You will also immerse yourself in sustainable concrete and wooden constructions.

This Master's course offers advanced training for BIM managers who will learn to deal with integrated projects of all kinds and sizes. The course provides an in-depth understanding of the regulations, data processing, and key roles in the BIM environment, and will then get into many practical applications.

Train yourself as an expert in management and production of architectural projects using BIM, the discipline that is transforming the construction sector and the implementation of which is already a requirement.

The Master's Degree in Sustainable Building Projects is aimed at professionals who are interested in reducing the environmental impact of building design and construction by formulating assessments, identifying critical problems, and suggesting comprehensive solutions that consider the physical, economic and social context.

The Master in BIM Management responds to the need to train professionals capable of achieving the necessary skills to effectively execute the BIM method, which is based on the use of 3D parametric drawing software. The most common are: REVIT, Navisworks, Civil 3D, among other programs necessary for this methodology, since they allow to create of intelligent models with detailed engineering, where data can be extracted to generate construction plans, construction parameters, quantifications, presentations, renders, V Ray and other information necessary for the construction of the real estate. The BIM system is applied in architectural projects at a global level, thereby improving profitability in the real estate industry, creating collaborative environments between professionals who interact during the life cycle of the project, and obtaining certainty in meeting the objectives set. The master's degree is aimed at Project Managers, design directors, and investors, with an emphasis on administrative management, who may also have an approach to the different applications or software that is used within the process. Upon completion of the master's degree, the professional will be able to evaluate the implementation of the BIM system in their field of work, will be able to coordinate workgroups, and will have the foundations to implement, coordinate and evaluate projects under the BIM methodology.

The program is jointly taught by the Faculty of Civil Engineering (FCE), the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME) and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE) at the Czech Technical University in Prague. Graduates are professionals in the design and operation of integrated building systems (integration of structural design, building services systems and controlling, energetics and information systems).
