| Entry qualification | Undergraduate diploma (or higher) The following Bachelor’s degrees qualify students for admission to the Master of science in Engineering degree programme in Civil and Architectural Engineering if mathematical competencies in level, extent and content equal to at least 20 ECTS on Bachelor level in Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability Theory and Statistics can be documented.
NB! the programme only admits a limited number of students. Evaluation is made on the basis of the average mark (i.e. GPA) of the Bachelor’s degree at the time of application. Marks/grades obtained after the application deadline will not be included in the GPA. The entry qualification documents are accepted in the following languages: English / Danish / Norwegian / Swedish. Often you can get a suitable transcript from your school. If this is not the case, you will need official translations along with verified copies of the original. If the documents mentioned above are not in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or English, they must be accompanied by translations into English. Diplomas and transcripts must always be translated into English and certified by either your home institution or a certified translator. If your university does not provide official course descriptions in English, your course descriptions may be translated by yourself, but the translations must always be certified by your home institution. Documents translated by a certified translator should always be certified. You must take verified copies of the entry qualification documents along with you when you finally go to the university. |

Overview
In the first year, half the study work is compulsory courses related to Civil and Architectural Engineering in general, e.g. Risk and Reliability, Numerical analysis, etc. The other half is an individual selection of two specialised study packages, e.g. Structural dynamics and Monitoring, Construction management etc. The second year involves a thesis, the topic of which is decided upon consultation with professors.
The programme is taught by faculty members who are active researchers, so students benefit from a research-intensive environment and have the opportunity to work with researchers, as well as the chance to complete a project in collaboration with a private company.
Career opportunities
The varied forms of teaching, collaboration in groups and the opportunity for close scientific dialogue with the researchers, as well as the strong relationship with the industrial sector, provide graduates with competencies that are in great demand in the global job market. These competencies include abstract, critical and independent thinking, analytical skills, and strategic planning. You can use these skills in many contexts – even in jobs you didn’t know you were qualified for.
Previous graduates of the MSc Civil and Architectural Engineering programme are employed by consulting engineering firms, entrepreneurial firms, property companies, architecture firms, or in the building component industry. Graduates typically work in roles that involve developing and designing advanced building constructions, advanced energy technology solutions and industrialised building components – frequently in interdisciplinary collaboration with architects and designers.
