Program description

Content

Civil engineering deals with the erection of buildings of all kind, in particular of structures like bridges and tunnels, structures in hydraulic engineering, water supply, waste and waste water disposal, harbour construction, streets, hall construction, as well as industrial and housing construction, including refurbishment. The master program civil engineering gives graduates the qualification to process difficult projects in the construction practice, including the necessary competences in business and management. Buildings arise by the cooperation of owners, planning offices, contractors, environment, politicians and society. Civil engineering is located in the field between technical and economic constraint, political will and legal conditions. The master program prepares for that. The master program also opens the way to doctoral studies and successful research activities, assuming a sufficient diploma.

The master program civil engineering is associated with the bachelor program "Bau- und Umweltingenieurwesen" and "Allgemeine Ingenieurwissenschaften Vertiefung Bauingenieurwesen" of the University of Technology Hamburg in the sense of a consecutive course of studies. Possible entries from other bachelor programs are based on a catalog of requirements, described in the document "Specific Requirements for the Master Program Civil Engineering".

In addition to the foundational curriculum taught at TUHH, seminars on developing personal skills are integrated into the dual study programme, in the context of transfer between theory and practice. These seminars correspond to the modern professional requirements expected of an engineer, as well as promoting the link between the two places of learning.

The intensive dual courses at TUHH integrating practical experience consist of an academic-oriented and a practice-oriented element, which are completed at two places of learning. The academic-oriented element comprises study at TUHH. The practice-oriented element is coordinated with the study programme in terms of content and time, and consists of practical modules and phases spent in an affiliate company during periods when there are no lectures.


Career prospects

The graduates of the master program civil engineering are prepared for a leading professional activity in planning offices, at building contractors, building authorities, owners of major immovables and infrastructure, producers of building products, material testing institutions and in research facilities. It aims at activities in extensive and difficult projects, or in research and development. In Germany a great demand exists at this time for civil engineers in particular with good knowledge in structural engineering. The master program is based on this demand.

In addition, students acquire basic professional and personal skills as part of the dual study programme that enable them to enter professional practice at an early stage and to go on to further study. Students also gain practical work experience through the integrated practical modules. Graduates of the dual course have broad foundational knowledge, fundamental skills for academic work and relevant personal competences.


Learning target

The graduates of the master program civil engineering gain the specialist knowledge and the methods, to plan and erect new buildings, in particular concrete structures, steel structures, structures in water engineering, in foundation engineering, in water supply, waste and waste water disposal, including refurbishment of existing structures. This incorporates the realization of necessary preliminary investigations, the design of structural elements, the development of all necessary proofs and the project management.

The graduates of the master program are able to transfer the acquired knowledge in engineering, mathematics and natural sciences to practical applications and to analyze and solve problems on a scientific basis, even if these are unusual or incompletely defined and comprise complex specifications. The graduates are able to successfully work on research projects in the field of civil engineering. Therefore a comprehensive understanding of the underlying processes and the ability to model and calculate such processes, e.g. with Finite Elements Methods, are necessary.

The graduates for this purpose gain the skills to experimentally determine the necessary properties of soil, materials and components and to deal with construction-specific program systems to calculate mechanical behavior, the hydraulics of systems as well as other physical-chemical processes. They are enabled to work on problems of civil engineering and related disciplines on one´s own. They are able to use methods needed for the solution of technical problems and planning procedures. They are able to use new findings in a critical way and to improve methods and new developments.

The graduates can communicate on advanced contents and problems of civil engineering with specialists and the laity. They are able to present their methods and the results of their work in writing and verbally in a comprehensive way. The graduates in addition learn to work on problems in a team in a purposeful way, and to document and present their methods and results understandably with up-to-date presentation methods to other persons. They learn to take the leadership for parts of a project or the whole. They are able to familiarize themselves with a topic and to select suitable methods to solve questions and problems. They are able to acquire the necessary information about a topic on one´s own and to put the new information in the context of their knowledge.

The graduates are further qualified to develop concept designs for difficult projects in structural engineering, foundation engineering, bridge design and hydraulic engineering and to plan such constructions under consideration of the available information and restrictions. They can:

  • successfully cooperate with expert und inexpert partners from the public administration, the economy and science,
  • autonomously define, plan and conduct scientific tasks and to theoretically or experimentally investigate constructions, ground, materials, infrastructure as well as management duties,
  • responsibly evaluate and consider the interests of building partners, people concerned and the society as a whole.

By continually switching places of learnings throughout the dual study programme, it is possible for theory and practice to be interlinked. Students reflect theoretically on their individual professional practical experience, and apply the results of their reflection to new forms of practice. They also test theoretical elements of the course in a practical setting, and use their findings as a stimulus for theoretical debate.


Program structure

The master program consists of modules which 6 credit points according to ECTS (CP) except for the master thesis. It is divided into a "Core Qualification”, into the five alternative specializations "Coastal Engineering", "Geotechnical Engineering", "Structural Engineering", "Water and Traffic" and "Computational Engineering", as well as the master thesis. The core qualification covers 54 CP, each specialization covers 66 CP and the master thesis covers 30 CP. The program covers 150 CP in 2 years with 4 terms in total.

The core qualification contains a module "Finite Elements Methods" as well as a module “Sustainability and Risk Management” in the 1st term. In addition an open module during the 1st, 2nd or 3rd term from the field “Business and Management” as well as a module from the “Non-technical Courses for Master” are incorporated. The lectures of these open modules are selected from catalogs that are independend from the specific master program.

Each specialization covers 42 CP in the compulsory modules, that are indispensable for the specialization, and 24 CP in the mandatory electives. They contain also an open module and a project work with 6 CP in each case. The compulsory modules excepting the project work are located in the 1st and 2nd term.

The 4th term covers the master thesis. In addition lectures of the open module of the specialization can still be attended in the 4th term. The students must select a specialization and they have the choice to elect different options in the field of “Business and Management”, in the field of the “Non-technical Courses for Master” and in the mandatory electives of the specialization.

A term abroad is possible. In particular the 3rd semester is used by the students to go abroad, because in the 3rd term there are no compulsory modules, but only mandatory electives.

The structural model of the dual study programme follows a module-differentiating approach. Given the practice-oriented element, the curriculum of the dual study programme is different compared to a standard Bachelor’s course. Five practical modules are completed at the dual students’ partner company as part of corresponding practical terms during lecture-free periods.

The students are supposed to:

  • become acquainted with geotechnical model tests, field tests and laboratory tests as well as corresponding measurement techniques. These compromise amongst others inclinometer measurements and geophone measurements as well as high-grade laboratory tests on the stress-strain relationship of soil specimens, e. g. triaxial tests, simple shear tests and resonant column tests.
  • gain insight into current soil mechanical research.
  • plan, coordinate, perform and evaluate soil mechanical tests in a team.
  • discuss, reflect, review and present the obtained results in a group.

An important learning target is the introduction to scientific work for students who plan a scientific career, and for those who will work in practice with the responsibility to order corresponding tests and evaluate the results.

The practical laboratory work is based on annualy changing problems, which are however related to the experience and results of the preceding year's course group.

Content

Energy geotechnics is a young field in geotechnical engineering with the aim of developing sustainable geotechnical solutions for future-oriented issues relating to the production, transport, operation, decommissioning, and waste utilisation of various energy sources. Examples of possible fields of activity in energy geotechnics include geothermal energy and thermally activated foundation components, foundations for onshore and offshore wind turbines, the decommissioning of mining facilities and the handling of waste products from fossil fuels such as tailings and the geological storage of CO2. Relevant soil mechanical processes in these applications include the thermo-hydro-mechanically coupled behaviour of soils, multiphase flow in porous media and partially saturated soils.

The lecture gives an overview of various aspects of energy geotechnics and provides in-depth knowledge of the associated soil mechanical processes. In addition, CO2-scarce geotechnical applications are discussed and emission estimates as well as the optimisation of geotechnical structures according to sustainability aspects are addressed.

The course introduces the development of modern waste resource management and demonstrates the importance of landfills in the context of recycling processes. Based on international (EU) and national legislation, the current landfill situation is presented and the future significance of landfills will be discussed. A central element of the course deals with the main transformation processes in the landfilled waste, the emission of gases and leachate, the long-term behaviour of landfills as well as aftercare and after-utilisation measures. Further focal points of the course are measures for the sustainable reduction of environmentally and climate-damaging emissions and aspects of landfill technology in an international context.

The topic of this course is water chemistry with respect to drinking water treatment and water distribution

Major topics are solubility of gases, carbonic acid system and calcium carbonate,  blending, softening, redox processes, materials and legal requirements on drinking water treatment. Focus is put on generally accepted rules of technology (DVGW- and DIN-standards).

Special emphasis is put on calculations using realistic analysis data  (e.g. calculation of pH or calcium carbonate dissolution potential) in exercises. Students can get a feedback and gain extra points for exam by solving problems for homework.

Knowledge of drinking water treatment processes is vital for this lecture. Therefore the most important processes are explained coordinated with the course “ Water resources management“ in the beginning of the semester.

The students are supposed to:

  • become acquainted with geotechnical model tests, field tests and laboratory tests as well as corresponding measurement techniques. These compromise amongst others inclinometer measurements and geophone measurements as well as high-grade laboratory tests on the stress-strain relationship of soil specimens, e. g. triaxial tests, simple shear tests and resonant column tests.
  • gain insight into current soil mechanical research.
  • plan, coordinate, perform and evaluate soil mechanical tests in a team.
  • discuss, reflect, review and present the obtained results in a group.

An important learning target is the introduction to scientific work for students who plan a scientific career, and for those who will work in practice with the responsibility to order corresponding tests and evaluate the results.

The practical laboratory work is based on annualy changing problems, which are however related to the experience and results of the preceding year's course group.

The topic of this course is water chemistry with respect to drinking water treatment and water distribution

Major topics are solubility of gases, carbonic acid system and calcium carbonate,  blending, softening, redox processes, materials and legal requirements on drinking water treatment. Focus is put on generally accepted rules of technology (DVGW- and DIN-standards).

Special emphasis is put on calculations using realistic analysis data  (e.g. calculation of pH or calcium carbonate dissolution potential) in exercises. Students can get a feedback and gain extra points for exam by solving problems for homework.

Knowledge of drinking water treatment processes is vital for this lecture. Therefore the most important processes are explained coordinated with the course “ Water resources management“ in the beginning of the semester.

Content

Energy geotechnics is a young field in geotechnical engineering with the aim of developing sustainable geotechnical solutions for future-oriented issues relating to the production, transport, operation, decommissioning, and waste utilisation of various energy sources. Examples of possible fields of activity in energy geotechnics include geothermal energy and thermally activated foundation components, foundations for onshore and offshore wind turbines, the decommissioning of mining facilities and the handling of waste products from fossil fuels such as tailings and the geological storage of CO2. Relevant soil mechanical processes in these applications include the thermo-hydro-mechanically coupled behaviour of soils, multiphase flow in porous media and partially saturated soils.

The lecture gives an overview of various aspects of energy geotechnics and provides in-depth knowledge of the associated soil mechanical processes. In addition, CO2-scarce geotechnical applications are discussed and emission estimates as well as the optimisation of geotechnical structures according to sustainability aspects are addressed.

The course introduces the development of modern waste resource management and demonstrates the importance of landfills in the context of recycling processes. Based on international (EU) and national legislation, the current landfill situation is presented and the future significance of landfills will be discussed. A central element of the course deals with the main transformation processes in the landfilled waste, the emission of gases and leachate, the long-term behaviour of landfills as well as aftercare and after-utilisation measures. Further focal points of the course are measures for the sustainable reduction of environmentally and climate-damaging emissions and aspects of landfill technology in an international context.

The students are supposed to:

  • become acquainted with geotechnical model tests, field tests and laboratory tests as well as corresponding measurement techniques. These compromise amongst others inclinometer measurements and geophone measurements as well as high-grade laboratory tests on the stress-strain relationship of soil specimens, e. g. triaxial tests, simple shear tests and resonant column tests.
  • gain insight into current soil mechanical research.
  • plan, coordinate, perform and evaluate soil mechanical tests in a team.
  • discuss, reflect, review and present the obtained results in a group.

An important learning target is the introduction to scientific work for students who plan a scientific career, and for those who will work in practice with the responsibility to order corresponding tests and evaluate the results.

The practical laboratory work is based on annualy changing problems, which are however related to the experience and results of the preceding year's course group.

Content

Energy geotechnics is a young field in geotechnical engineering with the aim of developing sustainable geotechnical solutions for future-oriented issues relating to the production, transport, operation, decommissioning, and waste utilisation of various energy sources. Examples of possible fields of activity in energy geotechnics include geothermal energy and thermally activated foundation components, foundations for onshore and offshore wind turbines, the decommissioning of mining facilities and the handling of waste products from fossil fuels such as tailings and the geological storage of CO2. Relevant soil mechanical processes in these applications include the thermo-hydro-mechanically coupled behaviour of soils, multiphase flow in porous media and partially saturated soils.

The lecture gives an overview of various aspects of energy geotechnics and provides in-depth knowledge of the associated soil mechanical processes. In addition, CO2-scarce geotechnical applications are discussed and emission estimates as well as the optimisation of geotechnical structures according to sustainability aspects are addressed.

The course introduces the development of modern waste resource management and demonstrates the importance of landfills in the context of recycling processes. Based on international (EU) and national legislation, the current landfill situation is presented and the future significance of landfills will be discussed. A central element of the course deals with the main transformation processes in the landfilled waste, the emission of gases and leachate, the long-term behaviour of landfills as well as aftercare and after-utilisation measures. Further focal points of the course are measures for the sustainable reduction of environmentally and climate-damaging emissions and aspects of landfill technology in an international context.

Content

The students are supposed to:

  • become acquainted with geotechnical model tests, field tests and laboratory tests as well as corresponding measurement techniques. These compromise amongst others inclinometer measurements and geophone measurements as well as high-grade laboratory tests on the stress-strain relationship of soil specimens, e. g. triaxial tests, simple shear tests and resonant column tests.
  • gain insight into current soil mechanical research.
  • plan, coordinate, perform and evaluate soil mechanical tests in a team.
  • discuss, reflect, review and present the obtained results in a group.

An important learning target is the introduction to scientific work for students who plan a scientific career, and for those who will work in practice with the responsibility to order corresponding tests and evaluate the results.

The practical laboratory work is based on annualy changing problems, which are however related to the experience and results of the preceding year's course group.

Content

Energy geotechnics is a young field in geotechnical engineering with the aim of developing sustainable geotechnical solutions for future-oriented issues relating to the production, transport, operation, decommissioning, and waste utilisation of various energy sources. Examples of possible fields of activity in energy geotechnics include geothermal energy and thermally activated foundation components, foundations for onshore and offshore wind turbines, the decommissioning of mining facilities and the handling of waste products from fossil fuels such as tailings and the geological storage of CO2. Relevant soil mechanical processes in these applications include the thermo-hydro-mechanically coupled behaviour of soils, multiphase flow in porous media and partially saturated soils.

The lecture gives an overview of various aspects of energy geotechnics and provides in-depth knowledge of the associated soil mechanical processes. In addition, CO2-scarce geotechnical applications are discussed and emission estimates as well as the optimisation of geotechnical structures according to sustainability aspects are addressed.

The course introduces the development of modern waste resource management and demonstrates the importance of landfills in the context of recycling processes. Based on international (EU) and national legislation, the current landfill situation is presented and the future significance of landfills will be discussed. A central element of the course deals with the main transformation processes in the landfilled waste, the emission of gases and leachate, the long-term behaviour of landfills as well as aftercare and after-utilisation measures.

The topic of this course is water chemistry with respect to drinking water treatment and water distribution

Major topics are solubility of gases, carbonic acid system and calcium carbonate,  blending, softening, redox processes, materials and legal requirements on drinking water treatment. Focus is put on generally accepted rules of technology (DVGW- and DIN-standards).

Special emphasis is put on calculations using realistic analysis data  (e.g. calculation of pH or calcium carbonate dissolution potential) in exercises. Students can get a feedback and gain extra points for exam by solving problems for homework.

Knowledge of drinking water treatment processes is vital for this lecture. Therefore the most important processes are explained coordinated with the course “ Water resources management“ in the beginning of the semester.

Content

Energy geotechnics is a young field in geotechnical engineering with the aim of developing sustainable geotechnical solutions for future-oriented issues relating to the production, transport, operation, decommissioning, and waste utilisation of various energy sources. Examples of possible fields of activity in energy geotechnics include geothermal energy and thermally activated foundation components, foundations for onshore and offshore wind turbines, the decommissioning of mining facilities and the handling of waste products from fossil fuels such as tailings and the geological storage of CO2. Relevant soil mechanical processes in these applications include the thermo-hydro-mechanically coupled behaviour of soils, multiphase flow in porous media and partially saturated soils.

The lecture gives an overview of various aspects of energy geotechnics and provides in-depth knowledge of the associated soil mechanical processes. In addition, CO2-scarce geotechnical applications are discussed and emission estimates as well as the optimisation of geotechnical structures according to sustainability aspects are addressed.

The course introduces the development of modern waste resource management and demonstrates the importance of landfills in the context of recycling processes. Based on international (EU) and national legislation, the current landfill situation is presented and the future significance of landfills will be discussed. A central element of the course deals with the main transformation processes in the landfilled waste, the emission of gases and leachate, the long-term behaviour of landfills as well as aftercare and after-utilisation measures. Further focal points of the course are measures for the sustainable reduction of environmentally and climate-damaging emissions and aspects of landfill technology in an international context.

Content

The lecture on membrane technology supply provides students with a broad understanding of existing membrane treatment processes, encompassing pressure driven membrane processes, membrane application in electrodialyis, pervaporation as well as membrane distillation. The lectures main focus is the industrial production of drinking water like particle separation or desalination; however gas separation processes as well as specific wastewater oriented applications such as membrane bioreactor systems will be discussed as well.

Initially, basics in low pressure and high pressure membrane applications are presented (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis). Students learn about essential water quality parameter, transport equations and key parameter for pore membrane as well as solution diffusion membrane systems. The lecture sets a specific focus on fouling and scaling issues and provides knowledge on methods how to tackle with these phenomena in real water treatment application. A further part of the lecture deals with the character and manufacturing of different membrane materials and the characterization of membrane material by simple methods and advanced analysis.

The functions, advantages and drawbacks of different membrane housings and modules are explained. Students learn how an industrial membrane application is designed in the succession of treatment steps like pre-treatment, water conditioning, membrane integration and post-treatment of water. Besides theory, the students will be provided with knowledge on membrane demo-site examples and insights in industrial practice.
