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 specializations in a manner that best reflects their interests and professional goals. Any study plan must comply with the official education rules and consider the individual course prerequisites.
At the same time, the programme offers several specializations which are merely one optional way of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specific specialization, but to the Civil Engineering programme, and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the given directions. When a specialization has been fulfilled, the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
The MSc programme in Civil Engineering offers the following seven specializations (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 specialization, all associated programme-specific courses should be taken according to the provided list, and the thesis work should be related to the specialization topic. This latter requirement mandates pre-approval from the Head-of-Studies based on a statement by the main MSc supervisor that the thesis content is linked to the requested specialization topic.
