Civilingeniør (kandidat) Byggeri

Programme structure

Ved studiestart vælger du at specialisere dig inden for en af nedenstående studielinjer:

  • Infrastructures and Geotechnical Engineering
  • Structural Engineering
  • Innovative Structural Design
  • Building Science and Technology
  • Construction Management and Engineering

Til hver studielinje hører et bestemt antal kurser, som du kan se her nedenfor.

Udover de kurser, der hører til studielinjerne, kan du vælge en række valgfag. På 3. semester skal du have et 15 ECTS projektforløb inden for et emne, der vedrører studielinjen. På tredje semester vælger mange studerende at læse i udlandet på et andet universitet. Det sidste semester er specialesemesteret, hvor du vælger emne. Specialearbejdet kan være i samarbejde med en ekstern virksomhed.

Undervisningen veksler mellem forelæsninger og projektarbejde, og du lærer at arbejde med udvikling af projekter i tværfagligt samarbejde med arkitekter og designere samt at agere i en verden, hvor byggeriet er i konstant udvikling.

You may attend maximum 15 ECTS of bachelor level-courses during your master education as part of the elective courses. A bachelor level-course is typically to be used for entirely new topics, i.e. outside primary focus of your bachelor education, to ensure you fulfill the required academic prerequisites.

R&D Project

The R&D project is an open, independent, research-based work performed under research supervision. The project can be a “sister-project” to a master thesis, or an opportunity to explore an entirely different scientific area. The project can either be carried out in a research group at the university, or in collaboration with or carried out in a company. The main supervisor of the R&D project you make an agreement with yourself directly among the researchers at Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering. A project can be of 10 or 15 ECTS, but a student can take maximum 15 ECTS in total.

The R&D project topic can be closely related to your master thesis topic, but the two projects must have different problem statements. In the master thesis, you can refer to your R&D work as you would cite any other research paper, yet be aware that you may not plagiarize your own R&D project text in the master thesis.

Thesis

The thesis is prescribed to 30 ECTS. Find guidelines here:

and the Course description

Master´s contract

An individual agreement on the courses in your education is prepared and approved in your study contract.

Once you submit your proposal, your Head of Degree Programme may advice you and will eventually approve your courses:

Changes to an approved study programme can only be made prior to course registration, and the changed contract must once again be approved by your Head of Degree Programme.

Remember awareness of course’s academic prerequisites before listing courses in your contract, which is found in the individual course descriptions: Read more in the AU Course catalouge

Course registration and time tables

Course registration

Once your Master's contract is approved by the Head of degree programme, you must register for the upcomming semester courses at mystudies.au.dk. Course registration periods: (1) Autumn semester courses: 1 – 5 May, (2) Spring semester courses: 1 – 5 November, and (3) master programme study start.


Time tables

Find teaching schedules here: Timeplanner (timetable.au.dk)

Find teaching schedules for

  • Specific courses
  • Your personal timetable, after course registration

Teaching schedules are available two weeks before semester start, for some courses earlier.


Student counselling

For questions on course registration, time tables or filling in the master’s contract template, contact your student counsellor:

Contact Student Counselling (au.dk)

If you may need an exemption from regulations, or have personal matters impacting your studies, you can also contact your student counsellor or a student welfare counsellor.

Academic regulations

In the academic regulations, you can find more information about the structure of the degree programme, and the requirements for you as a student – including overall educational learning goals and study progression rules.
