Your future with a degree in Civil Engineering
Graduates of this course can expect to work in construction companies, in construction administrations, for example at the state or federal level and in associations as well as in engineering and planning offices. It is also possible to work as an expert or appraiser or to work independently, for example as a construction manager.
The course is based on mathematical, scientific and technical subjects. It covers, among other things, content from mathematics, physics, mechanics, statics and strength of materials. There are also aspects of transport and infrastructure, environmental technology, geotechnics and water management. Specialisation in further study can be carried out in green building, structural engineering, transport and infrastructure or hydraulic engineering and coastal protection.

Admissions Procedure
After deducting the so-called advance quotas (foreigner quota, hardship quota), 20% of the study places are allocated after a waiting period. The other 60% are distributed according to a university selection quota. This provides for an allocation based on the average grade of the university entrance qualification, which is an admission requirement in accordance with the examination regulations.
The waiting period counts from the time the university entrance qualification is attained.

After a rejection you have the opportunity to participate in a possible lottery procedure. A lottery procedure takes place if there are still some remaining places for the course after the main selection procedure, the replacement procedure and enrolment.
