When you apply for this degree, you choose one specialisation. 

To apply for all the specialisations you need:

• a bachelor’s degree in engineering including: 25 ECTS in mathematics, 7,5 ECTS in physics, solid mechanics, building physics and/or thermodynamics and 5 ECTS in statistics 
• an average grade of at least C (according to the ECTS grading scale) on your bachelor's degree

You also need one of the following:

• English from a Norwegian or Nordic upper secondary school and a bachelor's degree from Norway or the Nordic countries
• at least 4 in English from upper secondary school
• proof of your English proficiency

The specialisations have different requirements.

• To apply for Building Technology you must have a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, mechanical engineering or energy and environment in buildings.
• To apply for Geotechnical engineering you must have a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, marine engineering or equivalent engineering discipline.
• To apply for Smart Water Process and Infrastructure Engineering you must have a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering or marine engineering. 
• To apply for Structural Engineering you must have a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, mechanical engineering or marine engineering, and 20 credits in mechanics, statics or other courses in the field of structural engineering.
• To apply for Transport Infrastructure Engineering you must have a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, mechanical engineering or marine engineering.

More about admission to master's programmes.

You apply via Søknadsweb, where you fill in your details and upload all the required documents.

Application deadlines:

• 1 March: early admission for applicants from the European Union, the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, and for non-EU/EEA citizens with a Norwegian national ID number residing in Norway
• 15 April: ordinary admission for applicants from the European Union, the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, and for non-EU/EEA citizens with a Norwegian national ID number residing in Norway

For students from the EU/EEA/EFTA the only cost of this programme is the semester fee (student.oslomet.no) of approximately NOK 1,000, which you pay each semester of the programme. For these students there are no tuition fees.

For students from countries outside the EU/EEA/EFTA there are tuition fees in addition to the semester fee (student.oslomet.no).

• In this study programme, you use a lot of software that only runs on the Windows operating system. We strongly recommend that you get a PC laptop, not a Mac.
• A laptop is required for 3D modeling already in the first semester, and then we recommend a "gaming laptop" that has powerful video cards that can be used for modelling. The GPU should be at least Nvidia RTX 2060, or Radeon RX5700, but as often you get gaming laptops with better graphics cards than that.
• The laptop should have 16 GB of memory or better. The processor should be Core-i5 with several cores or equivalent, preferably better. The hard disk should be 500GB or more, we recommend SSD.
• If you want to use Windows on a Mac, it requires very strong performance on the Mac, and it often costs a disproportionate amount, and often does not work very well. 

Apply for the Master's Programme in Civil Engineering at Oslo Metropolitan University – OsloMet, and get specialized and highly qualified for an exciting job in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry within one of five specialisations.

Programme description (student.oslomet.no)

When you hold this master’s degree, you have expertise that is in high demand in both the private and public sector.

Your most relevant employers are advisory engineering firms, contractors, construction clients, municipalities and research institutes.

This degree can also qualify you for further studies at the doctoral degree level.

When you complete the master's degree programme you will be awarded the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Civil Engineering, within building technology, geotechnical engineering, smart water process and infrastructure engineering, structural engineering or transport infrastructure engineering. Then you have skills that are in high demand in both the private and public sectors.

This master’s degree programme is designed to meet the National Council for Technological Education’s (UHR-NRT) conditions for use of the additional Norwegian designation “sivilingeniør” (siv.ing.) on diplomas for master’s degree programmes in technology.
