Engineering and Sustainable Technology Management — Smart Building Technologies (MEng) SRH University

The programme is taught in English.

The building of tomorrow is smart, connected and energy efficient. Its infrastructure consists of connected systems, devices and sensors that help automatise and optimise processes within the building and in the vicinity of the building.

Professionals who know how to manage these smart buildings and technologies are in high demand. Thus, we have created our Master’s programme that focuses on building information modelling, technology management and business expertise.

Students learn about building automation, decentralised energy management systems and the application of digital twin and artificial intelligence. Thanks to the modules on project, risk and change management, they know how to plan, execute and review building infrastructure and technologies.

Apart from extending their knowledge in innovation, facility and product lifecycle management, students get to strengthen their intercultural, negotiation and communication skills in various projects.

Students also take part in the Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certification Programme (SMSCP) during their studies and obtain the certification on levels one to three.

Working as a non-EU citizen: In possession of a valid German residence permit for study purposes, you are allowed to work for up to 120 full days (full day = eight hours per day) or 240 half days (half day = four hours) during the calendar year. However, freelance work is not permitted. Internships that are mandatory for the successful completion of your studies at SRH do not count towards the above-named 120 full days.

Employment that is considered “student part-time work” ("studentische Nebentätigkeit", e.g. employment as a student worker at a university or in a university-related organisation or "Werkstudent" activities at companies that are related to your studies) can be done without any time restrictions.

We do not own any student dormitories or hostels. However, we provide assistance in selecting accommodation prior to and after your arrival in Berlin.
