The Master's degree program in Digital Construction is generally designed to be completed alongside your job, but this does not necessarily mean that it is possible or advisable to continue working 100%. Depending on your working hours, you may have to reduce your workload or postpone your working hours. If you have any questions, please contact the relevant university directly.

In addition to the admission criteria, an admission procedure must also be completed, depending on the digital construction provider.

The admission criteria often relate not only to general admission to the course, but are also a condition for participating in the admission procedure. As a rule, a portfolio, letter of motivation and curriculum vitae (CV) must be submitted for the admission procedure. This is followed by an aptitude interview with the assignment of the task to be solved. This is then presented in a further aptitude assessment. The decision on admission or rejection is then communicated.

The training in digital construction deals with a wide range of topics in various modules - these can vary depending on the provider.

As a rule, the focus is on the following topics:

• Information modeling and information management: Participants learn more about the conceptual work of digital building models, deal with the exchange of information between different parties (planners, contractors, purchasers, customers, etc.) and learn more about the automation of work steps.
• Collaboration and process design: In the digital construction training course, participants are introduced to the design of processes and forms of collaboration. They will also learn about different forms of collaboration and how to apply them in a needs-based and goal-oriented manner. They also learn about the key aspects of communicating and leading interdisciplinary teams.

Graduates of a digital construction course are able to design, implement and manage digital building models. They also play a leading role in the exchange of information between planners, clients and contractors. Furthermore, they know how to design different forms of collaboration and processes so that they can be used profitably in the digitalization of processes. They can also lead interdisciplinary teams and act and communicate accordingly within them. Finally, they are able to critically reflect on legal, economic, political and cultural framework conditions and react appropriately to them.

The admission criteria for training in digital construction can vary from provider to provider.

As a rule, a Bachelor's degree is required for a consecutive Master's program, e.g. in the following areas:

• Landscape architecture
• Civil engineering
• Architecture
• Geomatics
• Facility Management
• Building technology
• Energy and environmental technology
• or related disciplines.

The Master's degree course in Digital Construction can generally be completed part-time or full-time. The part-time course lasts up to 6 semesters, while the full-time course lasts 3 semesters. It concludes with a Master's thesis, which is usually completed at the end of the course and comprises 30 ECTS credits.
