    About Civil Engineering (M.Sc.)

    The masters program in Civil Engineering has a focus on research, enabling you to deepen your existing methodological knowledge and subject expertise with a concentration on interdisciplinary methods and techniques. The program will help you to be able to complete independent, scientific, and technical work in the area of civil engineering and will also involve you in current research projects and projects that are relevant to civil engineering practice. For this purpose, TU Berlin has numerous national and international contacts and cooperation programs with universities and research institutions. Courses carried out in cooperation with the construction industry and public construction administration also ensure close ties to practice. The Peter-Behrens-Halle, which is affiliated with the Institute of Civil Engineering, also offers you unique experimental opportunities for tasks in research and development, using experimental methods for their own purpose or in combination with modern simulation methods.

    During your studies, six competence areas are offered: general civil engineering methods, design and construction, geotechnics, water services, management, and infrastructure. You will deepen your knowledge in several subjects within one or two of the competence areas. Besides additional subjects to expand the basic knowledge of specific civil engineering subjects, an extensive elective component is included. You can use the elective component for engaging with the neighboring disciplines of architecture, transportation, environmental studies, social science, and process sciences or for other individual concentrations.

    As a graduate of the masters program, you will have in-depth methodological knowledge and scientific expertise in selected concentrations. You will be able to complete independent, scientific, and technical work and will be involved in current research projects and projects that are relevant to the practice. You will think and work independently; integrate economic, socio-cultural, and environmental compatibility aspects into your decision-making process; and you will be able to solve practical engineering tasks in interdisciplinary and international teams.
