Civil Systems Engineering

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Modern urban infrastructures such as apartments, office buildings or traffic routes are socio-technological systems with many natural, technical and social components that interact with each other. Planning, construction, operation and maintenance of these systems are complex tasks that need to be supported by intelligent computer-based modeling methods. The master's degree in Civil Systems Engineering is a research-oriented degree that addresses these challenges and trains students to become specialists in the management of complex technical design processes. As systems engineers, they are familiar with the use of digital methods that make it possible to integrate empirical and theoretical simulation methods across system boundaries into complex design and planning processes. The four-semester program consists of compulsory basic modules in the modeling of infrastructure and buildings as well as in the modeling of the underlying operational and maintenance processes in the first year. Building on these basic modules, students can then choose from a range of compulsory elective modules to acquire advanced topics. In the third semester, students choose a research project that ideally serves as preparatory work for the master's thesis in the fourth semester.
