Master Civil Engineering (MSE)

In the Master’s program in Civil Engineering, you will learn to design complex structures such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, geotechnical structures, roads, and hydraulic structures in a practical and interdisciplinary manner. You will also learn how to properly maintain existing structures, as the maintenance of existing structures is one of the most important tasks for civil engineers in the future. OST is one of Switzerland’s leading universities of applied sciences in the field of structural maintenance.

You will work on real-world projects as part of your specialization projects and master’s thesis. Your studies are practice-oriented: all your instructors have extensive experience in engineering practice, work closely with engineering firms and construction companies, and actively promote the transfer of knowledge between practice and research—you benefit from up-to-date course content. Your instructors provide you with personalized guidance.

You will also have access to the expertise and well-equipped laboratories of the Institute for Construction and Environment (IBU), as well as the infrastructure of our project partners, for your research and development projects.
