Civil engineering consists not only of designing and executing structural works but also of all activities concerned with the procurement and development of statutorily designated space and the provision of utility services. The work of civil engineers can thus primarily be described as designing structural elements, drawing up the respective calculations, and executing plans, whereby environmental technology is a rapidly growing field of work. Due to both ecological and economic reasons, the work performed by civil engineers is the most widely diversified of all engineering professions, and course graduates find employment at public authorities, government departments, engineering firms, the building industry, construction sites, and in the human resources departments and design offices of processing industries.

Human activity, be it the use of natural resources, the energy production, the building of settlements and infrastructure, or even daily life activities, are closely linked to the environment with numerous of mechanisms. On the other hand, natural phenomena can also pose risks to human activity and human life. Environmental Engineers develop and apply technologies for the prevention and mitigation of human impacts on the environment as well as the prevention of environmental hazards.

The Bachelor’s degree program in Geodesy and Geoinformation teaches the engineering fundamentals for recording, measuring and mapping the earth’s habitat. It is interdisciplinary and combines mathematics, computer science, physics, geosciences, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. Geodetic topics are constantly present in our everyday life – be it determining one’s own location using a navigation device, the early detection of natural hazards or in the form of maps.
Geodesy and Geoinformation at the TUM School of Engineering and Design offers a diverse range of subjects, from engineering surveying of complex structures and the ordering of land to the 3D digitization of cities or the area-wide monitoring of sea levels.

Human activities in form of resource utilization, energy generation, construction of settlements and infrastructure and transportation are connected to the environment with a vast variety of complex mechanisms. Natural phenomena on the other hand can result to dangers for human activities and human life.
The Environmental Engineering studies address this complex field. Environmental engineers are able to understand, model and predict the outcome of these mechanisms of action. Based on this knowledge they develop and apply strategies and technologies for an ecologically, economically and socially sustainable interaction between the natural and the technical environment.

In the Master’s degree course in Civil Engineering, you will deepen the specialist and methodological knowledge you have already acquired in the Bachelor’s degree course in Civil Engineering or a related course. The course offers a variety of in-depth and specialization modules.
The tasks in civil engineering are wide-ranging in terms of ecological and economic aspects. Environmental engineering, for example, is a rapidly growing field of application.
Civil engineers work as employees, freelancers and civil servants in construction companies, public administrations, engineering offices, transport companies, in the real estate industry and in many interdisciplinary fields of work. They work in teams and often organize the collaboration of different disciplines.

The master’s program in Computational Mechanics at the TUM School of Engineering and Design is structured along the disciplines of structural and fluid mechanics, mathematics and computer science. Based on mechanical fundamentals, it aims to incorporate mathematical principles, computational methods and software development.
Nowadays and even more in the future, the development of sustainable and efficient engineering systems and products relies on computational mechanics simulations. The degree program thus focuses on solving real-world engineering problems of interest to society using numerical modeling and simulation methods. The small cohort size and the diverse international background of the students make this program ideal for interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and building a strong network for your future career.

Transport planning is becoming increasingly complex. With autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, machine learning, and big data coming into the mix, the transport industry is on the cusp of a new revolution, facing an unprecedented combination of new and old technologies as new priorities emerge. At the crossroads between traditional and modern-day vehicles, transport planners play an even more critical role in marrying the slew of divergent needs to develop a sustainable transport system. Amid rising calls to reform the transport sector, rail transportation remains the gold standard for carbon efficiency for many emerging and burgeoning cities to avoid further traffic gridlocks and pollution.
The TUM Master of Science in Rail and Urban Transport conducted under TUM Asia in Singapore is designed to equip students to meet these challenges. The program offers two specialisations (Rail and Transport), both of which are designed to equip students to meet the evolving railway and transport demands for the future.

Ready to shape the future of mobility? The Transportation Systems Master’s programme offers a unique opportunity to gain expertise in the field of modern transportation. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of mobility and develop innovative solutions for tomorrow’s challenges. Mobility is an essential component of participation and economic exchange. The increasing demand for movement and the shift in transport towards sustainable mobility require new planning and management strategies for transport systems.
Graduates are familiar with integrated land use and intermodal traffic management, freight logistics concepts and transportation demand management. They design roads and traffic lights, create public transport networks and optimise traffic conditions for people. The quality of life in urban areas can only be successfully improved in the long term if the transportation system is considered as part of a complex system. Transport planning must therefore take into account the interactions between transport, the economy, land use and the natural environment.

Information technologies such as digital twins, smart cities, geoinformation systems (GIS), urban and building information modeling (UIM/ BIM), design automation, digital fabrication, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and human-computer-interaction play a crucial role in shaping the liveability of our urban areas. The ever-growing possibilities in the digitalization of the building industry require specialists who can integrate developments in information technologies across different building disciplines and scales.
In this unique program, students acquire knowledge and competencies in information technologies from architecture, civil engineering, and geodesy. They have the skills to capture, generate, interpret, utilize, and adapt data and information at the interface of different digital systems. They work in interdisciplinary teams to manage, consult on, and create digital components of built environment activities at various stages of the construction lifecycle.

Whether we are looking at our planet from satellites or from the ground, studying the effects of climate change, surveying mountain ranges or creating digital twins: Geodesists use digital maps and virtual images to observe natural processes and man-made changes on the Earth’s surface. The interdisciplinary Master’s program in Geodesy and Geoinformation offers a wide range of possible applications and excellent prospects for the future. Mathematics, computer science and natural sciences form the basis of this engineering education.
You can further deepen the factual and methodological knowledge you have already acquired by choosing individual specialisations and interests, such as engineering surveying, photogrammetry and remote sensing, earth surveying and satellite geodesy, cartography and geoinformatics, as well as land readjustment and land development. Nine specialisations offer flexible design options to shape individual interests in geodetic topics – experience this high flexibility of the Master’s degree programme in Geodesy and Geoinformation at the Technical University of Munich!
