Civil Engineering

 Few degree programs are as diverse as Civil Engineering. Across the construction industry, where engineering-related issues are pivotal, this degree program provides answers. The program covers planning, structural analysis, and execution of construction projects in building construction and civil engineering. But it is also relevant to infrastructure projects such as transport routes and hydraulic engineering. Topics such as digital planning and construction and sustainability are now integral components of the degree program. It prepares students for the tasks of design, construction operations and planning of technical infrastructure and environmental technology.

In semesters 1, 2 and 3, students acquire knowledge of the mathematical-technical principles and the fundamental subjects of civil engineering. In stage 2 (semesters 4–6), they choose one of the following three options for specialization:

• Structural engineering – structural design
• Structural engineering – construction operations
• Traffic and water

Required elective modules complement the chosen specialization and facilitate a customized thematic approach. Numerous practical assignments are integrated into the degree program. These are run in our many well-equipped laboratories, allowing the degree program material to be taught in a more efficient and attractive way.

Semesters 5 to 7 are classified as a mobility window. The mobility window provides students with the option – but not an obligation – to study abroad. Internships abroad and summer schools are also supported.
A professional internship undertaken in semester 5 supplements the degree program. A bachelor’s thesis completes the degree program. For information on the introductory internship, contact Prof. Dr.-Ing. Mascha Baitinger.

There are arguably few other degree programs that provide their graduates with similarly diverse career options and potential future work fields. As a civil engineer you will find interesting jobs at construction companies, in the construction industry, in service companies, in public administration or in engineering offices dealing with consulting and planning.
Students also have the option to deepen their knowledge with several master’s degree programs.
