The wide-ranging degree programme focuses on the Architecture and Civil Engineering branches of study, which are continued in the subsequent master degree programmes.
Construction Management and Engineering
The master degree programme ‘Construction Management and Engineering’ focuses on construction management, structural engineering and project management. Students acquire a broad methodological knowledge along with business and organisational expertise. The course subjects reflect the increasing demands on functionality and building quality and increasing awareness of costs and the environment.
Creativity is the ability to think about something new or already known things between a new, unexpected connection to be able to manufacture. This ability, which is an essential prerequisite for designing, you can not really learn. It is but one of many existing human creative potential and develop skills. This is one of the focal points of architectural training.
