Descriptions
The programme contains construction and real estate studies, focusing on construction and real estate economics. Studies are part of International Master of Science degree, offered by Metropolia together with HTW Berlin University of Applied Sciences. The programme allows for a double degree, firstly with the Master of Science degree from HTW Berlin and secondly with the possibility of the Finnish YAMK degree (Master's degree) for those students who have completed two years of work experience after their bachelor's degree.
The two-year programme is offered completely in English, one year at each partner university. The programme’s scope is 60–120 ECTS, depending on the student’s previous knowledge. Metropolias' Civil Engineering B. Sc. students may complete some of the Master studies already during their B. Sc. programme.
The programme offers an international study environment and provides the opportunity to qualify for management positions in the construction and real estate industry.
Development
The curriculum is developed in full cooperation between the Civil Engineering faculties of HTW Berlin University of Applied Sciences and Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. The entire Master's Degree programme has been re-accredited in Germany in 2019. The construction industry also participated in the accreditation process.
Further information
All applications must be sent to HTW-Berlin; see
https://conrem.htw-berlin.de/applying/
The studies include a minimum of one semester (autumn/spring) studies at HTW Berlin
The curriculum has been copied from 2024 curriculum T1724S6 with some typo corrections.
The description of Thesis Studies in the curriculum cannot be changed to correspond to Metropolia's new rules, since the description is common with HTW Berlin where the entire curriculum is accepted. The course Research Methods and Skills cannot be changed for the same reason. The Thesis Studies must be divided into three parts; Master 1, Master 2 and Master 3 courses.
