Overview
DTU is following the COVID-19 situation and its impact closely, please consult the webpage to get the latest updates.
The modern practice of civil engineering requires a body of knowledge that is multi-disciplinary, covering numerous interrelated areas such as construction materials and processes, structural mechanics, geotechnics, energy technology, safety, indoor climate, acoustics, hydrology, geology, environmental sciences, and project management.
MSc graduates in programme in Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is geared towards developing lifelong skills within these knowledge areas. The education is unique, emphasising close collaboration among students and with researchers, and access to top-notch experimental facilities.
Study programme focus
The MSc Eng programme in Civil Engineering has the goal of preparing students for a long-lasting engineering career. To achieve this, the programme offers a rich and adaptable curriculum that combines theoretical studies, mathematical modelling, computer simulations, and hands-on experiments in the laboratory and field.
The program alternates between individual work and group work, and exposes the students to industry and research. The study process emphasizes creative thinking, systematic problem solving, collaboration with seasoned professionals, and bigger-picture comprehension.
Career opportunities
Civil Engineering graduates typically start their own business or are employed by, for instance:
- consulting engineering firms or contractors
- manufacturers
- local authorities
- public agencies
- educational and research institutions
