Environmental Engineering

The Master’s programme in Management in the Building Industry gives you insight into all management-related phases of modern construction; from ideas about shape and use to project design, construction, management, operation, and maintenance. Besides the technical aspects, the programme also covers fields such as organisation, economics, project management, working environment, logistics, and information technology.

Thus, the programme in Management in the Building Industry focuses on the whole – in both the construction project and in the construction company.
