About this programme
Experience a unique fusion of civil engineering and architecture and become an expert in resilient infrastructures, sustainability in construction and digital planning! The highly practice-oriented MSc Resilient Civil Engineering (RCE) explicitly takes up the concept of resilience and sustainability for infrastructures and complex building systems and integrates this basic idea holistically into design, construction and planning. The combination of study topics from the fields of civil engineering and architecture along with lectures in structural mechanics enables you to formulate comprehensive concepts for a building or infrastructure project ensuring its resilience and improving functionality. The exclusive fusion of key disciplines provides the qualification and specialisation needed to exercise interdisciplinary approaches, methods and procedures in structural engineering and thus addressing the challenges of today’s and tomorrow’s built environment. As an MSc RCE student, you will learn to: design, plan and construct resilient and sustainable infrastructures and complex building structures understand planning under the aspect of defined sustainability goals, as a cooperative process use building information management (BIM), simulation, automation and cost calculation for a construction project develop solutions for building sustainability performance optimisation using cutting-edge technologies implement structural control and health monitoring systems for important ci
