B.Eng. | Bachelor of Engineering

Course description

In this degree program, everything revolves around sustainable construction. You'll dive into civil engineering with a strong focus on sustainability. The curriculum is designed to equip you with practical skills through hands-on teaching. At the start, you'll tackle classic construction-specific modules like Structural Analysis and Construction. You'll study these alongside students from the Bachelor Industrial Engineering - Construction program. This setup encourages early collaboration and idea exchange with peers from different construction disciplines, fostering interdisciplinary thinking. The module Sustainability in Construction will open your eyes to the potentials and development opportunities within the industry. This will help you adopt a sustainable construction mindset effortlessly. As you progress, you'll delve into modules that emphasize sustainability in construction. Courses like Sustainable Construction Planning and Construction Operations, and Sustainable Transport Technology will be part of your studies. You'll also explore the potential of sustainable construction. For instance, the Timber Construction/Timber Building Technology module covers not just the load-bearing capacity of wood but also reforestation efforts to sustain this vital resource. After your internship, you'll have a solid grasp of professional life. This experience will make advanced modules like Alternative Construction Methods and Digital Building Management more approachable. You'll also have the chance to pursue your interests through elective modules. Your studies will culminate in a Bachelor's thesis,

Application Requirements

Qualification Requirements

Requirements include a valid university entrance qualification ("Hochschulzugangsberechtigung"). This is a secondary school certificate that entitles you to study at a German university. For applicants who obtained their higher secondary school certificate outside of Germany, uni-assist has to verify their eligibility to study in Germany and to convert school grades to the German grade system. Applicants will have to submit all required documents online to uni-assist prior to their application at THI. The process takes four to six weeks (VPD).

Document Requirements

school leaving certificates (Diploma certificate and overview of subjects and grades), certificates on successfully passing university entrance exams, Overviews of subjects and grades (transcripts) for previously completed studies (if the course of study has not been completed), university certificates (Diploma certificate and final overview of subjects and grades [transcript], possibly a Diploma Supplement), and additional attestations issued by schools and universities.
