The Master's programme in Civil and Environmental Engineering offers you as a civil engineer, you as an environmental engineer or if you have completed a comparable education, the ideal curriculum to improve your skills in line with your previous career. You have the choice to focus your core subjects on one of the two fields of study of the Master's programme: Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering. During the three semesters of the Master's programme, you can further improve your career and promotion prospects. The highlight of your studies will be a research project that you can carry out either together with the University of Luxembourg or the University of Budapest. As a graduate, you will be able to carry out demanding engineering activities in the planning, construction and execution of civil and environmental engineering projects on your own responsibility. Digital methods (BIM) and management skills are also taught. And you will reconcile the environment and construction.
