For the Master’s degree, 120 ECTS credits have to be achieved. In the Master’s programme it is possible to focus on two specialist areas from the broad professional civil engineering sector. The curriculum can be tailored to individual interests and aptitudes.

Specialisations

Electives

A vast number of electives from the entire range of courses of ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich enable further specialisation in the chosen subjects or widening of the breadth of education.
