Master's Programme

The new Work-integrated Master's degree programme in Civil and Architectural Engineering offers your company the opportunity to employ an engineering student while he or she studies a Master of Science in Engineering. The new setup creates the opportunity to collaborate with our researchers within your field.


What is the new MSc Programme about?

In the new Master’s Programme, students combine their university studies with part-time employment in a company. It is still possible to follow a traditional Master’s programme at the department, with 2 years of fulltime studies.

What can you expect from a student on the new programme?

The student has completed a Bachelor of Science degree or a Bachelor of Engineering degree (diplomingeniør) in civil and architectural engineering. They have experience working with complex technological challenges as well as linking theory and practice.

At Aarhus University, this includes the BSc in Civil and Architectural Engineering or the BEng in Civil Engineering or Architectural Engineering. Equivalent bachelor’s programmes from other universities are also relevant. Please note that the formal admission requirements for the Professional MSc Programme must be met.

The programme is research-based, which means that throughout their studies, students are taught and supervised by active researchers with deep insight into technological developments in industry.

Benefits for companies

As a company, you can look forward to a rewarding collaboration with the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering.

You will gain:

  • The opportunity to engage an ambitious engineering student working with professionally relevant tasks.
  • Many students can transition into full-time employment by graduation. That way it serves as an effective recruitment channel.
  • Continuous access to new knowledge and perspectives from our research environments.
  • A clear professional synergy, where challenges from the company can be integrated into the study programme in the form of e.g. project work or the Master’s thesis.
  • A dedicated academic supervisor from the department will follow both the student and the collaboration throughout the programme.

Academic content of the programme

In the Master’s degree in Civil and Architectural Engineering, students build upon their previous knowledge of the core disciplines of building engineering and learn to apply statistical methods, artificial intelligence, simulation, and advanced modelling in their engineering practice. Students have the freedom to structure their Master’s degree according to their interests, and within a Professional Master’s trajectory, they will (to a large extent) work in a project-based manner with the company’s specific challenges.
