Descriptions

The Master’s Degree is intended for those who have already entered the job sector, wishing to have transferable skills to develop working life. A Master’s Degree from a university of applied sciences provides the same qualifications for public office, for example, as a Master’s Degree from a research university or another higher educational institution.

Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering has two specialization options:
• renovation and
• structural engineering

Specialization option is selected in application. Both renovation and structural engineering has their own pre-assignments in application.

The studies contain common core requirement studies (10 ECTS), specialization studies (15 ECTS) and elective studies (5 ECTS). Also Master’s thesis (30 ECTS) is included in the degree.

Common core requirement studies can be selected among renovation or structural engineering. During studies offered renovation courses are old buildings are structures, building physics, deterioration of structures and condition assessments and renovation methods and construction work. The specialization studies of structural engineering are structural mechanics and design of steel and concrete structures.

Elective studies give possibilities to direct studies according to own career and development plan. There is a possibility to a substitution with studies of other Master’s degree programmes of Metropolia or Master’s degree studies in other universities. There are courses of building information modelling in renovation and project management in the Civil Engineering Master's Programme.

The studies are organized as part-time studies and the Master’s degree programme has been designed to enable working alongside studies. The studies consist of contact days, working in project groups and home assignments. Contact days are approximately twice a month at Thursday and Friday.

The total length for degree studies is two years. Prerequisites for graduation from programme are studies according to approved study plan. The degree’s minimum ECTS is 60 containing obligatory and elective studies.

Development

Tutkinto-ohjelman sisältö on suunniteltu yhteistyössä keskeisten korjausrakentamisen yritysten ja suunnittelualan insinööritoimistojen kanssa. Ympäristöministeriön rakennesuunnittelijoiden pätevyysvaatimuksien muuttuminen lisää YAMK-tutkinnon suorittaneiden tarvetta. Opinnäytetyö tehdään ammattikorkeakoulun opettajan ja opiskelijan työpaikkaohjaajan ohjauksessa.

Further information

Opetussuunnitelma on kokonaan uusittu, syksystä 2016 kaksi suuntautumista: korjausrakentaminen ja rakennetekniikka, korjausrakentamisen opintojaksojen sisältöjä uudistettu, rakennetekniikan opintojaksot uusia.
