Student Session
Moving to a new country, starting studies and a new life is a big step. Luckily for you, our students have already been through the process! Therefore, they would like to invite you to a webinar for students by students.
Introduction
“Doing things right and doing the right things". Stresses, deformation, and vibrations – how do building structures react in different situations? Analyze, calculate and learn scientific methods. Technical education at an advanced level is a good base for your future success.
Degree
After one year of successful study, students will get a Master of Science (60 credits), The main field of study: Civil Engineering.
This is Linnaeus University
Linnaeus University is a modern, international university in the southeast of Sweden. We are located in two nature-loving cities, one by the Baltic sea and one surrounded by lakes in the greenest city in Europe. More facts about Linnaeus University:
- Founded in 2010 through a merger between Kalmar University and Växjö University;
- Located in Kalmar and Växjö;
- 44,000 enrolled students;
- 2,200 enrolled international students;
- 6th largest university in Sweden in terms of the number of students;
- 780 partner universities in more than 80 countries;
- 100-degree programs on the first-cycle level, 8 of them taught in English;
- 80-degree programs on the second cycle level, 35 of them taught in English.
Växjö
Roughly 15 minutes by bike from the city center, you will find Linnaeus University’s campus. It is like a small society with a university, student accommodation, and student life. Here you become part of a creative knowledge environment.
What will you come across on an excursion in Växjö – the city of contrasts? You will find good restaurants, a celebrated hockey team, and cozy cafés where you can enjoy a latte with lingonberry flavor. In Växjö, beautiful nature is always just around the corner; the city is surrounded by lakes and forests. Students like the combination of the city center and the active student life on campus. Your dream of the future starts here!
Career Opportunities
The program prepares students for work in the industry, within a growing wood building branch or elsewhere in the building industry where skills in structural design and analysis are required, but it also prepares for research studies for Ph.D. exams.
Curriculum
Students following this master's program will be able to handle a wide range of problems within advanced structural engineering and design, using computational tools such as the finite element method. The program has a focus on wood building technology and design, another important research area at Linnaeus University in which research is carried out in close cooperation with the industry. In addition to a thorough theoretical basis, applied projects concerning the development of new products and technology are included in the program. Something very advantageous is the fact that there is a series of interesting wood-building projects going on in the city of Växjö, and projects that will continue for several years to come.
The program contains the courses: Analysis of Structures, The Finite Element Method, Timber-based Building Systems, Multivariate Calculus, Vector Calculus, Structural Dynamics, Scientific Methodology and Planning, and Degree Project/Thesis.
The University has exchange programs with a large number of universities around the world. Students from these, as well as free movers, are welcome to apply for this program. All the education in the program is conducted in English.
