Bauingenieurwesen (Civil Engineering)
The Bachelor's Programme “Bauingenieurwesen” (hereafter: Civil Engineering) provides you with a solid education in all areas of civil engineering. You will learn how to design, plan, and construct while preserving our environment. You will assess and calculate the feasibility of designs and plans created by architects and collaborate with them and many other specialists. Together, you will create various structures such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, roads, dams, wastewater treatment plants, landfills, power plants, and infrastructure for drinking water and wastewater management. A special focus is placed on the use of appropriate construction materials, sustainability, environmental and noise protection, energy efficiency, and circular economy principles.
The programme covers the following core subject areas:
- Basic Subjects (Materials Science, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Mechanics, Structural Analysis, Surveying, Strength of Materials, and Construction Informatics)
- Structural Engineering (Building Construction, Timber Engineering, Concrete Structures, Steel Structures)
- Construction Process Management (Construction Economics and Construction Management)
- Geotechnical Engineering (Foundation Engineering and Soil Mechanics)
- Transportation Engineering (Transportation Planning, Road Engineering, Railway Engineering)
- Water and Resources Engineering (Engineering Hydrology and Hydraulic Engineering, Water Quality and Resources)
