MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree


Civil Engineering (CE)

L’ingegnere civile costruisce il futuro. Le opere, pianificate e realizzate, contraddistinguono gli spazi in cui viviamo.

Profilo professionale

Il profilo MSE in Civil Engineering trasmette le competenze necessarie per assumere posizioni dirigenziali in uffici di ingegneria, imprese di costruzione o nell’amministrazione. Viene acquisita esperienza in svariate discipline, quali ad esempio la costruzione di ponti e di strutture portanti, la geotecnica, la costruzione di gallerie, dighe, ferrovie e strade, l’ingegneria idraulica e fluviale, la manutenzione di opere esistenti, la costruzione sostenibile ed efficiente dal punto di vista energetico nonché i pericoli naturali.

Contenuti del profilo

Il profilo di studio in Civil Engineering comprende i seguenti contenuti:

  • Strutture portanti
  • Geotecnica
  • Ingegneria idraulica
  • Pianificazione dei trasporti e sistemi di trasporto

Competenze

Con il conseguimento del diploma MSE in Civil Engineering l lo studente sviluppa abilità per affrontare questioni complesse nonché sfide attuali e future dell’ingegneria civile, quali la gestione di progetti impegnativi e l’elaborazione dei risultati.

Requisiti procedura di ammissione

Soddisfano i requisiti d’ammissione gli studenti con un voto superiore alla media in uno dei seguenti percorsi di studio Bachelor 

  • BSc in ingegneria civile I Civil Engineering
  • BSc in geomatica, materia principale: costruzione e infrastruttura (BSc HES-SO)

La valutazione delle qualifiche di entrata è parte del processo di iscrizione della rispettiva scuola. Per i candidatiche non sono in possesso di nessuno dei diplomi Bachelor summenzionati, la scuola universitaria professionale in questione valuta individualmente l’ idoneità del candidato.

Moduli di teoria consigliati

I moduli di teoria contano 30 dei 90 ECTS. I moduli vengono erogati in varie sedi da Professori provenienti da tutta la Svizzera. Lo studente seguirà questi moduli insieme ad altri studenti. MSE Moduli di teoria consigliati per il profilo MSE in Civil Engineering (CE).

Differenza tra il MSE e il Bachelor of Science

Durante la formazione Master verranno approfondite le competenze tecniche e ampliate le conoscenze scientifiche di metodo e di gestione. Dopo il conseguimento del Master lo studente avrà sviluppato capacità specifiche che gli permetteranno di far fronte a importanti mansioni di pianificazione e progetti impegnativi nonché di assumere la responsabilità per interi processi.
