Masterdegree
CIVIL ENGINEERING BUILDING CONSTRUCTION SchoolofTechnologyandManagement
LEIRIA POLYTECHNICAL INSTITUTE
Goal: This MSc aims to equip students with the skills of a civil construction engineer, developing advanced
knowledge of civil engineering and associated engineering and scientific disciplines (structure dynamics,
sustainable building design, transportation, geotechnics, water supply and drainage, environmental,
planning and construction). They gain an awareness of the context in which engineering operates, in terms
of design, construction and the environment, together with transferable skills leading to careers in the
construction industry.
In this degree, students will develop original work in a specific
field, through a project, a dissertation or an internship.
This MSc covers all the major areas of civil engineering,
reflecting the broad range of expertise available within the
Department and its strong links with the engineering
profession.
There is a strong emphasis on developing skills within a
teamwork environment, equipping the students for the
subsequent professional practice.
