Building design engineers work on designing and projecting structures and indoor climates in close collaboration with architects and building designers.

Graduates in Building Design work with all phases of construction from idea to design, construction and operation. As a student, you learn to translate your scientific background knowledge into well-thought-out and innovative construction solutions, and you gain in-depth knowledge of the construction sector during your education.

The education focuses on your professional and personal development as an engineer, so that you are able to work holistically with theory, technology, architecture, material selection and energy design. You will gain strong technical skills and learn about new design methods, building materials, building construction, indoor climate and energy technology, among other things.

Each semester you will work on real cases and projects – often in collaboration with construction companies, consulting engineering firms and architects. In this way, you will build a good understanding of the framework conditions and innovation needs of the construction industry alongside your theoretical engineering expertise.

As something special about the Bachelor of Engineering in Building Design, you gain knowledge of various architectural disciplines, and you learn to take into account both design, function, aesthetics and technology in your work with construction.

However, the education is primarily built around structural engineering, which includes a lot of mathematics and physics. The architectural content makes up approximately 15 percent.

During the program, you will learn to use digital calculation and modeling tools, and you will encounter a focus on sustainability in all your subjects. Today, construction accounts for more than a third of society's total CO2 emissions and approximately a quarter of the total amount of waste. Therefore, when you graduate, you will belong to a generation of engineers who will be responsible for a very important part of society's green transition. This requires that you are already trained at university to work towards a sustainable building culture with all that this entails in terms of understanding architecture, use of materials and new construction methods.

In the Bachelor of Engineering in Building Design program, you can choose between three different specializations. The three specializations are: Structures, Energy and Indoor Climate, and Construction and Sustainability.

Read more about the specialization in Construction and Sustainability The program also includes a semester-long internship, which is often paid.

Graduates in Building Design have low unemployment and are in high demand on the job market.

As a Bachelor of Engineering in Building Design, you can apply to continue your studies as a Master of Engineering in Construction (+2 years) if you have chosen certain courses during your education.
