Key subject areas
In addition to your study track Innovative timber construction and structural engineering, you will focus on the following specializations:
- Construction Management
- Construction industry
- Digitization
- Civil engineering
Timber construction – sustainable and innovative
The elective modules focus on the planning, implementation and project management of modern timber construction projects – from high-rise buildings to municipal buildings and urban solutions. We combine the art of engineering with digital planning, sustainability and innovative construction methods such as serial construction. Excursions and interdisciplinary projects with architecture students provide practical insights.
Digitalisation and construction management
One main focus of the degree programme is digitalisation. You will create digital building models for structural and civil engineering based on the current regulations and standards, advance your knowledge through practical project work and learn details about model coordination, construction process simulations and model-based cost and time management. In relation to construction management, you will delve into construction contract matters, learn how to apply lean management and focus on corporate management and business administration.
Sustainability, energy, environment
You will learn about the mutual influences involved in construction, sustainable energy supply and environmental protection. You will analyse the life cycle of buildings and apply circular economy principles to the construction process. Furthermore, you will analyse and apply building systems and innovative developments in timber construction.
