Civil Engineering - Master's Degree
Turning Ideas into Practice
Building is a service to society and its people. To successfully implement construction projects today and in the future, one must possess not only technical expertise but also economic, organizational, and legal knowledge. The Master's degree course in Civil Engineering equips students with the necessary skills for management tasks in the planning and implementation of significant construction projects.
Navigating Complex Challenges
The pressure of competition, time, and costs is continually intensifying. Skilled workers are becoming scarce, and new materials, processes, and technologies present opportunities as well as challenges. These factors, combined with increasingly important ecological requirements, are making construction ever more complex.
Civil engineers must thrive in this demanding environment. This is facilitated by practical, project-oriented training that also prepares students for successful collaboration between clients and contractors. To further promote internationality, the course offers students the opportunity for a semester abroad.
Additionally, students benefit from the integration of the Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Sustainable Real Estate Management departments at the Spittal campus. Joint courses and collaborative projects are conducted. Graduates will apply their acquired interdisciplinary knowledge across various fields of expertise in the construction and real estate industries.

Three specialisations for individual specialisation
In the Master's degree programme, students have the opportunity to choose one of three specialised majors in order to optimally pursue their career goals:
- Design and Construction (German-language)
This technically demanding specialisation focuses on innovative building and construction solutions, material development and the application of modern design principles. - Construction Process Management (English-language)*
This technical study specialisation prepares international students for the role of project manager or site manager. The study trains knowledge in construction processes, digitalisation and technical building equipment. - Planning and Execution (German-language)
This specialisation is specifically designed to prepare students for the master builder examination. The focus is on content such as design and construction as well as building physics, business management and leadership skills.
* Subject to accreditation by AQ Austria
Degree and career prospects
In the fourth semester of the Master's degree programme, students write their Master's thesis and delve deeper into a research-oriented topic. After completing the programme, numerous career opportunities open up in the fields of construction, project management, sustainable development and construction management - both nationally and internationally.

Job & Career
As a graduate engineer in the field of civil engineering, you will find your place in management positions in small companies as well as in industrial groups, mostly at home but often abroad, from the structural engineering office to large construction sites.
Construction planning, construction execution or construction control are the superordinate fields of activity. By passing a subsequent civil engineer or master builder examination you will also acquire the authority to independently manage planning and construction companies.
The possibility of taking up doctoral studies at a technical university in Germany or abroad as a graduate of the master's degree program also opens up academic careers for you.
The fields of activity of civil engineers include planning, construction execution or construction control. Graduates can acquire the authority to independently manage planning and construction companies by taking a civil engineer or master builder examination. There is also the possibility of building on the Master's degree in civil engineering with a doctorate.

FEANI is the Federation of European National Engineering Associations. Its Austrian representative is the Austrian Association of Engineers and Architects (ÖIAV).
The civil engineering degree programs of the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences are listed in the FEANI Index and thus provide the necessary basis for an application for the title of a European Engineer (EUR ING).
The FEANI member associations are authorised to award the EUR ING as proof of professional qualifications in the field of engineering across European borders. Especially for professional activities outside of Europe, the EUR ING brings important advantages in the recognition of professional status.
The prerequisite for obtaining the EUR ING is the proven combination of theory and practice through training and professional experience. The quality of EUR ING certification is ensured by a three-stage examination procedure of submitted skills and experience.
Requirements:
- At least 3 years of study of an engineering science (INDEX-.study course* or recognised equivalent)
- At least 2 years experience in engineering professions
- At least 7 years cumulative experience as an engineer through studies and work
The successful completion of the Master's degree program in Civil Engineering subsequently entitles the holder to pursue a doctoral program in accordance with § 6 FHStG (4).
Of course, graduates of the master's degree program in civil engineering can also go into self-employment after passing the civil engineer or master builder exam.

Campus & Arrival
Spittal an der Drau stands out
The comedy town of Spittal in the Carinthian Oberland with its 16,000 inhabitants knows perfectly well how to combine living tradition with a culturally conscious present.
It is not without reason that the university town of Spittal, situated between education, culture and nature, presents itself as a true experience for body and soul. Cultural awareness, living tradition and a touch of southern serenity - these are the characteristics that make the "little historical town" so worth living in. Lake Millstätter See invites you to swim in summer, in winter the Goldeck is waiting for you to enjoy skiing. Shopping, cultivated gastronomy and cultural activities complement this perfectly. Studying in Spittal an der Drau is therefore a true experience for body, mind and soul!
