Civil Engineering
M.Sc.
Overview
The master's program in Civil Engineering deepens knowledge of the discipline and its methods acquired during the bachelor's program in Civil Engineering or a related program. Central to the master's program is the individual's choice of specialization, which can be tailored through a range of in-depth electives. These include:
- Construction
- Structural mechanics
- Structural physics
- Construction process management
- Construction maintenance
- Computation in engineering
- Energy-efficient and sustainable planning and construction
- Foundation engineering, soil mechanics, rock mechanics und tunnel construction
- Wooden structures
- Real estate development
- Concrete structures
- Metal structures
- Hydromechanics
- Urban water and waste management
- Statics
- Transportation technologies and transportation planning
- Transportation engineering
- Hydraulic engineering and water management
- Materials
Given the considerable flexibility in terms of content, students have the opportunity to showcase their interests and abilities in an individual academic profile. Furthermore, the in-depth electives are well-suited to the professional profiles of civil engineers.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
As a graduate you possess enhanced skills and competencies in the cross-disciplinary areas of civil engineering. You are able to deal independently with complex tasks relating to your specialization. In your activities you take into consideration social, economic and ecological aspects, as well as discipline-related ones.
Moreover, you have broadened your knowledge in your chosen subject areas and developed an individual set of competencies. Your interdisciplinary approach allows you to apply your specialist knowledge beyond the boundaries of your discipline.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Civil engineers find employment in permanent positions, on a freelance basis and as officials in: construction companies, public administration, engineering consultancies, transportation companies, real estate markets, the building material industry, as well as in a variety of interdisciplinary fields of work. #
Civil engineers work in teams and often coordinate cooperation among different disciplines.
Structure
Students choose four of the in-depth electives offered. The fourth can be substituted for an individually-tailored course of study that draws on the subject matter of disciplines, such as architecture, mechanical engineering, or computer science. One of the chosen disciplines serves as the main subject area, so as to meaningfully structure course content around a specific professional role. Each area of specialization involves both compulsory and elective modules from the entire range of courses offered at the Technical University of Munich, including in the area of languages and communications.
The title Master of Science can be acquired after four semesters. The program concludes with a master's thesis focused on one of the chosen specializations. Various Double Degree programs, the ATHENS Program and further options enable a high degree of international mobility among students.

Qualifications
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. Aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school or department determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its master’s degree program.
In the initial stages, the grades you obtained during your bachelor's program, as well as your written documents, will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected or invited to an admissions interview.
