Overview of the Professional Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering
The Professional Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering – Construction and BIM Management trains engineering managers capable of designing, planning and managing construction projects using advanced digital tools and collaborative methods. It combines the fundamentals of civil engineering (structures, infrastructure networks, geotechnics and civil structures) with skills in project management, regulations and sustainable development. BIM and its applications (4D, 5D, CIM and Scan to BIM) are central to the program, addressing the construction sector’s growing requirements for digitalization and efficiency.
Graduates develop dual expertise in design and modeling as well as project management and coordination, enabling them to work effectively in complex national and international environments.
