Civil Engineering - Master's Degree

Ideas into practice.

Building is a service to society, to people. Anyone who wants to successfully implement construction projects today and tomorrow must have more than just specialist technical knowledge. Economic, organisational and legal knowledge is also indispensable. The master's degree program in civil engineering provides the necessary skills for management tasks in the planning or implementation of important construction projects.

MASTERING COMPLEX CHALLENGES

Competitive and time and cost pressures are increasing inexorably, skilled personnel are becoming a bottleneck, and new materials, processes and technologies bring challenges and opportunities. Together with ever more important ecological requirements, all these factors make building increasingly complex. Civil engineers have the task of successfully surviving in this demanding environment - this is facilitated by a practical and strongly project-based education, which also prepares for a successful cooperation between client and contractor.

Students benefit from the networking of the fields of architecture, civil engineering and sustainable real estate management on the Spittal campus. Joint courses are held and projects are implemented together. Graduates use the interdisciplinary knowledge they have acquired in various fields of activity in the construction and real estate industry.

In the master's program, students choose between the specializations "Design and Construction" and "Project Management". In addition, students can further influence the design of their curriculum during the three semesters by choosing from the elective subjects offered. All students have the final thesis in common - it is written in the fourth semester as the conclusion of the master's program.

The master's program builds on a relevant bachelor's program in the field of "Civil Engineering", but the master's program is also open to beginners from related bachelor's programs. Separate credit or transition models are created and offered for them.

Students make a basic choice between one of the two specializations "Design and Construction" and "Project Management". In addition, students can already influence the design of their curriculum from the first to the third semester by choosing from the offered electives. Common to all students is the final diploma thesis - it will be written in the fourth semester as the conclusion of the master's program.

Specialization "Project Management

The aim of the course is to develop project and management skills for the construction industry. Courses on the topics of construction management, construction operations and law are therefore central to the program. However, in-depth technical training and the acquisition of further social skills also complement the course of study.

Specialization "Design and Construction

The focus is on "design and modeling". In addition, the design and planning execution of supporting structures of building and infrastructure construction play a decisive role.

construction laboratory

The construction laboratory of the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences is located in the Science & Energy Labs in the Villach Technology Park and is represented at this location on a project-related basis by up to ten employees from the Civil Engineering & Architecture Department. Among others, the departments of structural engineering, building material technology and building physics are located here.

Students of the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences are also offered the opportunity to work on their Bachelor's or Master's theses in the laboratory and to participate in a wide range of research topics, such as the subsequent reinforcement of existing bridge structures or the material development of high-strength and ultra-high-strength materials. In addition, the construction laboratory offers innovative services in the field of component and material testing.

Profile

The master's program "Civil Engineering" is aimed at graduates of a relevant bachelor's program as well as at beginners from related bachelor's programs. The aim of the course is to prepare students to take on leadership responsibilities in the construction industry. Depending on the area of specialisation, students are increasingly taught advanced economic and organisational skills or constructive and construction culture skills. The course design is characterised by a high degree of practical relevance and aims at a quick career entry. Students can choose between two specialisation options:

The specialisation in design and construction deals with design and modelling as well as with the calculation and planning of load-bearing structures in structural and infrastructure engineering. The inclusion of the design in the education is the basis of the engineer's (structural engineer) participation in the design process of the structures.
The specialisation Project Management focuses on the construction and organisational aspects of civil engineering. Here, management skills are taught that are closely linked to the fields of law, economics and construction operations. An important supplement is the teaching of social skills such as leadership responsibility and employee management.
The essential contact to the economy is particularly promoted through cooperative project work in the 3rd semester. Here students have the opportunity to work on their assignments in and with a cooperating company for a period of at least 5 weeks. For those who want to devote themselves to research topics instead, the construction laboratory is open to them: Scientific questions can be dealt with there, also within cooperative research projects, with professional support. Further offers to students include participation in conferences, symposia and external specialist lectures - the course encourages students to independently establish a network of specialist experts during their studies.

What students should bring to their studies:

Engineering skills: The ability to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete engineering tasks
Problem-solving skills: the ability to analyse and evaluate problems in an interdisciplinary way by applying one's understanding of economic and social interrelations
Social skills: The ability to work well with a team or in a team and to assess the impact of one's own actions.

After successful completion of their studies, graduates have the following skills and knowledge:

Depending on the chosen specialisation, they have broad competence in the fields of building construction or building technology and construction management and can apply this effectively in practice. They are aware of the importance of sustainable thinking and acting.
They are able to communicate professionally and to enter into dialogue with all important participants in the construction process.
They are able to independently analyse problems in their areas of responsibility, to solve them with suitable methods and thus to participate in the successful implementation of construction projects.
They work smoothly with representatives from other professions and specialist areas, both on their own responsibility and as part or in the management of a team.
You are in active exchange with the scientific community of civil engineers.

THE DESIGNATION OF A EUROPEAN ENGINEER (EUR ING)

FEANI is the Federation of European National Engineering Associations. Its Austrian representative is the Austrian Association of Engineers and Architects (ÖIAV).

The civil engineering degree programs of the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences are listed in the FEANI Index and thus provide the necessary basis for an application for the title of a European Engineer (EUR ING).

The FEANI member associations are authorised to award the EUR ING as proof of professional qualifications in the field of engineering across European borders. Especially for professional activities outside of Europe, the EUR ING brings important advantages in the recognition of professional status.

The prerequisite for obtaining the EUR ING is the proven combination of theory and practice through training and professional experience. The quality of EUR ING certification is ensured by a three-stage examination procedure of submitted skills and experience.

Requirements:

At least 3 years of study of an engineering science (INDEX-.study course* or recognised equivalent)
At least 2 years experience in engineering professions
At least 7 years cumulative experience as an engineer through studies and work

The successful completion of the Master's degree program in Civil Engineering subsequently entitles the holder to pursue a doctoral program in accordance with § 6 FHStG (4).

Of course, graduates of the master's degree program in civil engineering can also go into self-employment after passing the civil engineer or master builder exam.

Statements

Learning by Doing - das Berufspraktikum

"Das Berufspraktikum bildet einen sehr wesentlichen Bestandteil des Architekturstudiums im Hinblick auf Praxisorientierung. Hier wird zum ersten Mal über den Studienalltag hinaus das Erlernte von den Arbeitgebern gefordert. Das Gefühl an etwas Realem mitzuarbeiten und bis her Erlerntes einbringen zu können, beflügelt und gibt Anreiz, das weitere Studium umso fokussierter und zielorientierter zu bestreiten. Darüber hinaus gibt es die Möglichkeit die unterschiedlichsten Büros kennen zu lernen. Wieder zurück an der Hochschule wird in einem abschließenden Vortrag, das Wissen mit den Mitstudierenden geteilt. Ich selber habe unterschiedliche Praktika während meines Studiums in der Schweiz und in Vorarlberg absolviert. Dies gab mir die Möglichkeit eines interkulturellen Dialoges und ich konnte meine Fähigkeiten auch mit anderen messen."

Auslandspraktikum als Chance nutzen!

"Aufgrund meiner Faszination für die Stadt Barcelona habe ich beschlossen, mein sechsmonatiges Praktikum - das im Lehrplan im 5.Semester des Architekturstudiums vorgesehen ist - beim international agierenden Architekturbüro AZPA (Alejandro Zaera Polo Architecture) in Barcelona zu absolvieren. Ein vor dem Beginn des Praktikums absolvierter Katalanisch-Sprachkurs war dabei ein wichtiger Schlüssel zum Verständnis der katalanischen Kultur. In den sieben Monaten konnte ich nicht nur an umfangreichen Projekten im In- und Ausland und bei Wettbewerben gegen die renommierten Architekten Norman Foster, Souto de Mora, Richard Rogers, Rafael Moneo, David Chipperfield, Dominique Perrault und Nieto Sobejano arbeiten, sondern auch neue Computerprogramme und Tätigkeitsabläufe erlernen. Eine besonders wichtige und entscheidende Aufgabe war die Teamleitung für einen Wettbewerb in Hamburg, bei dem ich die an der Fachhochschule vermittelten Fähigkeiten anwenden konnte und dabei das verantwortungsvolle Umgehen und Handling mit neuen, ungewohnten und nicht immer leichten Situationen als Verantwortlicher kennenlernte. Es sind gerade diese Erfahrungswerte, die das Berufspraktikum, das Teil des Studiums ist, so wertvoll machen."

Lehrende aus der Praxis

„Die Lehrenden haben durchwegs einen exzellenten Ruf und auch die externen Mitarbeiter haben allesamt Rang und Namen in der Branche. Besonders schätze ich an diesem Architekturstudium die Kombination aus fundiertem technischem Basiswissen und genügend Raum für Kreativität. Auch ein Bauprojekt in Südafrika bleibt mir in bester Erinnerung. Man kann seine Ideen als Student sehr gut entfalten."

Praxisnahe Ausbildung und Kontakte zur Wirtschaft

"Die praxisnahe Ausbildung bildet eine hervorragende Basis für eine individuelle Karriere im Bereich Bauwesen. Durch das 4-monatige Berufspraktikum im Bachelorstudium bekommt man die Gelegenheit, schon während des Studiums ins spätere Berufsleben hineinzuschnuppern. Gastvorträge von Firmen und Exkursionen direkt auf die Baustelle geben einem die Chance mit potentiellen späteren Arbeitgebern in Kontakt zu treten und können das Sprungbrett für die Zukunft sein. Der
praxisnahe Stundenplan und die gegenstandsübergreifenden Projekte während des Studiums bereiten einen bestens für den Berufseinstieg vor."

Der perfekte Studienort

„Einer der Gründe mich für ein Architekturstudium in Spittal zu entscheiden, war mit Sicherheit die Schönheit unseres Fachhochschulgebäudes. Das historische Bauwerk ist meiner Meinung nach der ideale Ort um Architektur zu lehren und zu lernen. Ein weiterer Vorzug, den ein Studium in einer kleineren Stadt mit sich bringt, ist das günstige Wohnen. Die Umgebung bietet ein vielfältiges Angebot zur Gestaltung der Freizeit: Im Sommer lädt der Millstättersee zum Baden und Sonnetanken, im Winter das Goldeck zum Schifahren und Snowboarden ein. Trotz seiner Überschaubarkeit spricht eine gute Verkehrsanbindung für Spittal. Vom neu umgebauten Bahnhof aus lassen sich sowohl Villach und Klagenfurt als auch Salzburg und München mit dem Zug in kurzer Zeit erreichen."

Die persönliche Betreuung steht im Vordergrund

"Im Bachelor-Studium Architektur werden uns Studierenden umfassende Grundlagen der Architektur und des Bauens vermittelt. Wir werden vielseitig inspiriert und profitieren von der persönlichen Betreuung, Unterstützung und dem Engagement der Lehrenden, die ihre diversen Praxiserfahrungen einbringen und unsere kreative Entwicklung bestärken und fördern."
