What should you bring to the program?

The Master’s program in Digital Construction Management is designed for graduates of a relevant bachelor’s program as well as professionals in civil engineering, architecture, and related disciplines who wish to actively shape the digital transformation of the construction industry.

In addition to technical knowledge, analytical thinking, the ability to work in a team, and an interest in digitalization, sustainable solutions, and modern management methods are important prerequisites. Since the program is designed to be pursued while working, self-motivation, organizational skills, and good time management are also advantageous.

Here's what you'll learn during your studies

In the Digital Construction Management master’s program, you’ll deepen your expertise in the areas of digitalization, construction project management, and sustainable infrastructure. You’ll learn to apply modern technologies in a targeted manner, support transformation processes, and efficiently plan, manage, and develop construction projects throughout their entire lifecycle.

• Developing Digital Construction Processes 
  You’ll explore Building Information Modeling (BIM), artificial intelligence (AI), and other digital methods, and learn to plan, coordinate, and optimize construction projects using data-driven approaches. In addition, you’ll explore modern approaches such as Lean Construction and develop strategies for efficient and collaborative construction processes.
   
• Taking a Holistic View of Sustainability 
  Sustainability is a central component of the program. You’ll learn to integrate lifecycle-based requirements, sustainable infrastructure, CO₂ reduction, and ecological, economic, and social aspects into construction projects and to develop solutions that are viable in the long term.
   
• Successfully supporting transformation Digital tools only realize their full potential through the people who use them. That’s why you’ll develop skills in change management, interdisciplinary collaboration, and project management, and learn to confidently guide teams and organizations through digital transformation processes.
   
• Study Internationally and with a Practical Focus The joint degree program combines the expertise of CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences and Bochum University of Applied Sciences. Online instruction, in-person block weeks in Austria and Germany, and a close connection to construction practice enable flexible and application-oriented education at an international level.

What's next after the master's degree?

Upon successful completion of the program, you will be qualified to take on positions of responsibility in digital construction project management, BIM and digitalization strategy, as well as sustainability and project management. At the same time, you will have access to a wide range of career opportunities at companies, public organizations, or research institutions that are actively shaping the digital transformation of the construction industry.
