Sustainable Civil Engineering (in German) (B. Eng.)

→ Application for a start of studies in winter term is open until Aug. 31!

How do you design buildings that bring together technology, the environment and the future?

Sustainable civil engineering means designing the fundamental structural elements of our everyday lives to be fit for the future. During your studies, you will learn to design and plan buildings, bridges, tunnels and transport routes in an environmentally friendly and technically sound manner. Digital tools such as BIM, simulations and modern surveying technologies will help you analyse complex interrelationships and model them with precision. At the same time, you will gain in-depth insights into hydraulic engineering, flood protection, wastewater treatment and the management of challenging construction projects. Sustainability is always taught holistically: ecologically, socially and technologically. Practical projects, field trips and interdisciplinary teaching formats prepare you early on for real-world challenges. You will, of course, also be taught the traditional subjects of civil engineering. In addition to core subjects such as statics and mechanics, these include structural subjects such as timber construction, masonry construction, steel construction, transport infrastructure and civil engineering. This will enable you to design and construct stable structures. You will consistently factor sustainability into all technical decisions.

Please note that the language of instruction is German! For our English language Bachelor, please choose Sustainable Civil Engineering in English!

In this degree programme, everything is designed for sustainable construction. This means studying civil engineering with the necessary sustainable aspects. The necessary skills are taught within the framework of practice-oriented teaching.

In the first part of your studies, you will complete the classic construction-specific modules such as Structural Analysis and Construction together with the students of the Bachelor Industrial Engineering - Construction. In this way, you will learn to exchange ideas with other construction professions in small groups at an early stage and to develop interdisciplinary ideas. In the module Sustainability in Construction, you will be made aware of potentials and development opportunities in the construction industry, so that the mindset for sustainable construction will be easy for you in the future.

In the second stage of your studies, you will take modules that specifically relate to the sustainability factor in construction, such as Sustainable Construction Planning and Construction Operations, Sustainable Transport Technology, etc. You will also be introduced to the potential of sustainable construction. For example, the module Timber Construction/Timber Building Technology not only deals with the load-bearing capacity of wood, but also with reforestation in order to preserve the raw material.

After your internship, you will have gained so much insight into professional life that modules such as Alternative Construction Methods, Digital Building Management, etc. will be easy for you and you can pursue your own interests through elective modules. You round off your studies with a Bachelor's thesis and receive a Bachelor of Engineering degree.

Quick Info

The programme starts in the winter semester (October) as well as the summer semester (March)..

Registration for the programme. This Bachelor's programme is offered at the THI without admission restrictions/NC, so registration with DOSV/hochschulstart is not necessary. This applies to the GERMAN language course only, the Englisch language SCE (Sustainable Cili Engineering) may vary! Documents can be uploaded directly in the Primuss applicant portal of the THI.

All Infos on Bachelor application.

With a degree in civil engineering and the addition of sustainable and energy-efficient project/construction management, the doors are open to regional and international companies in project planning and management, as a construction manager or engineer in a planning office.

Eine duale Ausbildung ermöglicht eine Kombination aus praktischen Elementen in einem Unternehmen und theoretischer Ausbildung an der Hochschule. Dabei kann entweder das Verbundmodell (Studium & Berufsausbildung) oder der Studiengang mit vertiefter Praxis (Studium und intensive Praxisphasen) gewählt werden. Der Vorteil für Studierende liegt auf der Hand: Mit einer praxisnahen akademischen Ausbildung gestaltet sich der Übergang von Studium in den Beruf meist fließend. Darüber hinaus werden Studierende vom jeweiligen Unternehmen in der Regel finanziell vergütet und im besten Fall nach Studienabschluss übernommen.
